Be warned, your children might have to prise this creative book out of your hands. They can collect petals or leaves for collages, rewild a city street with drawings of greenery or decorate a butterfly.’— The Sunday Express

While I understand that the intent of this book is to celebrate nature and invite children to engage with nature in a meaningful and imaginative way, I do wonder if a book like this really is the right means to that end. I genuinely feel that this book will appeal to adults much more than children, and perhaps should even be marketed as an "adult coloring book"! What a great book for kids and one that will get them outdoors to explore and discover. The idea is to take this book along; no worries about its getting grubby as that is the idea. Fill it with all sorts of thoughts and things relating to nature.LoveReading4Kids exists because books change lives, and buying books through LoveReading4Kids means you get to change the lives of future generations, with 25% of the cover price donated to schools in need.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this engaging and beautifully illustrated title. All opinions are my own.

I've always enjoyed activity books, especially if they form very much a journal style where you have the opportunity to express yourself. The publisher describes this as a scrapbook and there are cues that encourage mixed media opportunities through drawing and writing as well as involving natural discovered elements. There's a plethora of different types of activities and prompts to enjoy. I particularly like that it's very much a book that inspires time outdoors and with nature. Yet, there is a fantasy element where there are activities related to dragons too! Loved it.I really hate to make this sound so harsh because I do value the ideas here! It's a beautiful book. I just wonder if a 15 year old might enjoy this kind of doodling, etc. more than a 7 year old.
