Synopsis

The Nature Watch titles are the perfect non-fiction picture books for budding animal lovers. A fun, engaging format, beautiful illustrations and gentle educational text make the series an appealing and absorbing gift for children.

Die-cut holes make these wonderful books come to life! Each layer in Nature Watch: In the Treetops shows a different level of the rainforest, from the forest floor to the highest branches. Peek through the holes onto the next page to spot all kinds of wonderful jungle creatures, from tapirs to jaguars, howler monkeys to scarlet macaws. Each page has fun facts and lots of things to find and count to keep children engaged, and Hannah Tolson's accompanying illustrations bring a lively visual appeal.

Reviews

This board book is bright and eye-catching. It's a non-fiction book that describes different parts of the rainforest and introduces children to different wildlife that live there. The book has thick pages, making it appealing to younger readers who would be able to independently look at and hold this book. Each page has holes which peak through to the next, sparking intrigue in children to turn the page. The book is ideal for adults to share with children, it uses a lot of subject-specific terminology and each page has a counting activity to encourage children to look at the pages closely. 10 pages / Ages 3-5 years / Reviewed by Lizi Backhouse, teacher
