Hello! Come in! You're right on time: our day has just begun.
And I can tell it's going to be a lovely, busy one...

· An immersive, cosy world that encourages little ones to look at nature around them and step into a world of imaginative play, where animals do just as a child would: go to school, play on the swings and visit the supermarket
· Engaging spotting activity for young children, with spreads themed around familiar places, and a familiar cast of woodland friends to follow
· A sure hit for fans of the well-loved first book in the series, If You Go Down to the Woods Today
