Dawn Casey (author), Anna Richardson (author), Helen d'Ascoli (author), Allmut ffrench (illustrator)

A rich and abundant treasury in celebration of the forest, this book is about encouraging children's natural fascination with the forest and its inhabitants. The authors have produced an enchanting book where imagination, story and play bring alive the world of the forest. Full of games, facts, celebrations, craft activities, recipes, foraging, stories and Forest School skills, The Children's Forest is much more than a manual: it is an invitation. Appealing to teachers, parents, and children, this book focuses on British and Irish trees, plants, animals, stories, poems, songs, crafts, and activities.
