Description
Discover the wonder of autumn and learn how wildlife prepares for the colder months ahead with this heart-warming non-fiction picture book.
The wind is blowing. Golden leaves are falling. Animals are busy gathering food to store away. It's time to celebrate nature during the cooler autumn months...
In this beautiful, blustery story, join two young children and their mums as they go on an autumnal adventure in their local park. They spot amazing plants and animals and are enchanted by the sights and sounds around them - crunchy leaves, vibrant colours, and a feast of nuts, berries and fruit.
They pass through several wildlife habitats and begin to see that nature is full of life. They notice the little things - seeds blowing in the wind, mushrooms on the ground and empty shells all around.
Co-authors Sean Taylor (bestselling picture book author) and Alex Morss (ecologist, journalist and educator) offer a gentle introduction to autumn and different animal behaviours, including annotated illustrations. In the golden park, the fruit and leaves have fallen from the trees and the animals are collecting food. Why are the animals doing this? Where are they going?
Filled with fascinating facts and stunning illustrations, the books in this popular series encourage children to discover more about nature and the seasons. This is the fourth and final book, following Winter Sleep, Busy Spring and Wild Summer.
