Join Jade, Catty and Butty in Grandma's pretty garden as a small
caterpillar discovers how he can fly through the air.
An exquisite book that evokes a child's first experience of nature.
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.

Official World Book Day GBP1 book From Michael Morpurgo, co-founder
of the charity Farms for City Children, this charming story for
early readers evokes the wonder, muck and magic of a week on the
farm. The first of many Farm Tales to come, it is a window onto the
countryside, and the way its landscape and animals can leave an
impression on a child's heart forever. 'You're farmers for a week,
so you'll be busy. There'll be no time to miss home. You'll eat
like kings and queens, sleep like logs, and you'll hardly be out of
your wellies, except in bed.' When a young boy goes from the city
to stay on the farm, he discovers a world he never knew existed - a
world of vegetable gardens, ducks and geese, where the sheep graze
in the fields, where apples and pears grow in the orchard. He also
meets Jemima the pig: she smells and she slobbers, she breaks out
of her pen to steal potatoes, and she's the undisputed queen of the
farm. Soon, he's hiding acorns in his pockets to feed to her every
time he sees her. But then, Jemima starts to feel ill. Could she
have eaten too many acorns? Or does this queen of a pig have a
secret...?
This lively book is teeming with jungle animals and other things to spot, match, count and talk about. At the bottom of each page is a row of pictures showing things to look for and count, while animals in each scene offer readers specific fun challenges, such as asking them to find a monkey with a backpack. There is also a little white mouse to spot in each picture. Children will enjoy the challenge while parents can be confident that kids are practising essential skills.
This book is packed with animals for you to bring to life. Simply
dip the brush in water and sweep it across the black and white
pages to fill the animals with glorious colours - from the
patterned scales on jungle snakes to the rich fur on wild bears.
