A stunning collection of animal poems from master storyteller Michael Morpurgo, celebrating with heart and humour the creatures with whom we share our planet.
Collaborating once more with iconic artist, Michael Foreman, Morpurgo's poems are inspired by The Carnival of the Animals – a humorous musical by the French composer Camille Saint-Saëns. Building on this classic framework, Michael has added many more animals – they speak in their own voices, full of humour and brio, to tell of their lives and the impact of humanity on their habitats.
With full colour illustrations throughout, this celebrated partnership has created a book with a strong ecological message that will also ignite a love of poetry in young readers and will appeal to fans of The Lost Words. Above all it is a celebration of the natural world in verse, a book to treasure and to inspire.

'A call to arms for the next generation of eco-warriors, full of
practical ideas and activities to encourage wildlife and a love of
the natural world' - The Bookseller 'This is my pledge, my promise,
my vow, Lasting forever, starting now: I'll be a friend to nature.'
An illustrated book celebrating the natural world and ways to
appreciate it, filled with practical activities and ideas to help
wildlife and the environment on your doorstep and worldwide.
Starting with a pledge in poetic form, this book is a call to arms
for the next generation of peaceful eco warriors. Broken down into
sections of activities, each lyrically relates back to the metaphor
of being a friend to nature. The activities themselves are short,
easy, and fun, with a few more extensive projects mixed in. These
are interspersed with nature quotes, poetry, and other
thought-provoking musings, as well as pieces of simple non-fiction
information, such as the life cycle of a frog, a butterfly, a cross
section of a flowering plant, and why you should always wish on a
dandelion clock. The final section explores what nature can give
back to us in turn; that if we look after the natural world, we
will always have a friend in nature - a space to be calm, to pause
and think, to recharge, to bring us joy, amusement, and health.
