If you add an adder to an adder
they are prone to have a dance,
they writhe around each other
till the strongest gets a chance
to PUSH the other down.
Watch out for bossy Beetroot! Be enchanted by a Bluebell witch’s thimble and spot a dive-bombing Lark or a cute Great-Crested Newt.
From Adder to Wren, forty fantastic poems celebrate forty amazing animals, birds and plants and their beautiful names – which YOU can help poet Chrissie Gittins save from EXTINCTION.
This is nature close up, exciting – and WILD.
