Nature Needs You!
Find out about caring for nature and saving the planet with our team of helpful kids, Anjali, Lulu, Mason and Noah!
In Nature Needs You, these four friends discover an injured fox in the garden and need to take it to an animal rescue centre. There, they begin a year of discovery learning about the amazing animals, plants and places that make up our natural world.
As the year goes on, the children talk to lots of different people, from park rangers and environmentalists, to teachers and grandparents. They learn lots of things about the natural world, from facts about biodiversity, food chains and climate change to pollination, plastic pollution and ecosystems.
Throughout the book, there are Take Action advice panels, which give examples of small ways that people can get involved to help protect nature.
Get Busy activity suggestions encourage children to be actively engaged with nature, by birdwatching or planting wild flowers. There are also full-page, step-by-step activities for how to make a bug hotel and a bird feeder. Perfect for keeping your keen naturalist busy this summer! Take this book to the back garden, the beach or the park and start helping nature now!
By the end of the book, readers have a better understanding of the importance of nature, humans' impact on nature and what can be done to help protect it.
