Nature Trail: A joyful rhyming celebration of the natural wonders on our doorstep
Benjamin Zephaniah, Nila Aye
At the bottom of my garden, there’s a hedgehog and a frog,
And a lot of creepy-crawlies living underneath a log . . .
All around us, from parks to gardens and flowerpots to pavements, there’s a world of wonder just waiting to be discovered. Why not look a little closer and see what you find?
This joyful celebration of nature reminds us all to take a closer look at the world around us, and enjoy the wonder of nature wherever we find it. Packed with animals and minibeasts galore, this imaginative rhyming text is perfect for reading aloud.

I enjoyed reading about all the insects and animals in the woods. My favourite part is the birds having a party on the tree. I think someone who enjoys nature and the environment would enjoy this book.

I liked the caterpillars best, especially the one reading a book in a hammock. The burglar squirrels were funny too.
