An absolutely beautiful book of short, rhyming stories which links connections in nature so well than I read it about to my children in one sitting! My kids (6 and 8) enjoyed it immensely, although I originally bought it as a gift for a 3 year old child but now I may have to get another copy!

I particularly liked the fungi / trees stories and loved how the stories include really good and accurate natural science in an easy to understand way. Written in engaging rhyming text, each real-life tale in this 10-story collection introduces one of nature's wonders.Gabby wrote for series one and two, available to watch on BBC iPlayer, Netflix and YouTube, and is currently writing for series three. Each “chapter” has a beautiful poetic story about something in nature then ends its with informational discussion. She has written for the Children's TV Classic series, Postman Pat, 'Rhyme Time Town' for Dreamworks, and several other animated series, including a Chinese animated series. And at the end of each story, children are invited to explore an informative "All About" page to discover more facts on the topic.
