The feel-good place to buy books
Gardens and Parks by Nick Baker
A practical guide for kids aged 7-11, by popular Really Wild Show presenter Nick Baker, full of exciting things to see and do pretty much everywhere. The habitat explorers are a series of four books containing numerous step-by-step projects to lead the curious young naturalist off down a path of exploration. These guides are not simply a tick list of things you can see (though they teach all those basic identification skills): rather they encourage kids to see what's around them by getting their hands dirty. And because they're so straightforward and safe to use, parents can feel confident in helping their kids to explore the wildlife around. Perfect for half terms and long summer holidays, whether you're in the back garden or on a family day out. In Gardens and Parks, Nick focuses on projects you can do close to home, wherever you live. Learn how to make beetle and lacewing boxes, what you can spot after dark in your garden, what materials birds like to build their nests with, and even how you can race slugs and snails!Praise for The New Amateur Naturalist
