Format:Paperback
This has to be one of the best books ever! The games are all really good fun and worth while and the activities all sound great. Personally I prefer the other book, Make it Wild, as it has lots of crafts like tie dieing t-shirts with rubarb, make your own clay and kiln etc. but for more wild children this is the Best Book Ever. Everyone should have it!

I bought this to use for a project I was doing for my degree but although the book is great, I didn't find it appropriate for the age group I work with (under 3's) but I do think its a great book for parents and practitioners working with older children. It has some great ideas for activities within the woods to give children a proper childhood!
