Reviews / Votes
"For the first title, Slow Down:""This cosily illustrated volume wants us to take time to stand and stare, paying attention to everyday natural events, many of which can be appreciated in a garden or indoors through a window"" - The Sunday Times
""Fifty moments in nature are captured in slowed-down double page spreads: a cresting wave, a hatching chick, a bee pollinating a flower. The effect is magical."" Fiona Noble, The Bookseller
""A wonderful book for inspiring a love of the natural world."" The Bookseller"
