Nature Trail by Benjamin Zephaniah and Nila Aye

At the bottom of my garden

There's a hedgehog and a frog, 

And a lot of creepy-crawlies 

Living underneath a log . . .

Nature Trail brilliantly highlights the wonders to be found at the bottom of the garden. The garden is a very lively place filled with insects, birds, cats and even foxes. The perfect book to encourage children to appreciate the natural world, with delightful illustrations by Nila Aye of woodlice with top hats, caterpillars knitting and crickets playing the saxophone.
