A must for all nature lovers, this delightful book has observations from the natural world starting in March through to June. Morpurgo (who wrote War Horse) and his wife founded the 'Farms for City Children' project fifty years ago from their farms in Devon. It's still going strong and introducing children to the magic and wonder of the tiniest insect, leaf or flower, which we can also appreciate from his inspired writing. There are beautiful lino cut illustrations by a friend to accompany it.
