From beachcombing to stargazing, from watching squirrels, ducks and worms to making berry crumble or a winter bird feast, this is a remarkable book – part poetry, part scrapbook of recipes, facts and fragments – and a glorious reminder that the natural world is on our doorstep waiting to be discovered. Mark Hearld's pictures beautifully reproduce the colours of the seasons on woodfree paper, and Nicola Davies' lyrical words capture the simple loveliness that is everywhere, if only we can look.
Note: This is a very special book - not just because it has two different titles and covers, A First Book Of Nature(ISBN 978-1406304916) in the UK, and Outside Your Window: A First Book of Nature(ISBN 978-0763655495) in the US - but because it is a book about children’s very first encounters with nature.
