If You Go Down to the Woods Today

Journey through a magical woodland with poems to read and things to find in the beautifully illustrated picture book If You Go Down to the Woods.

My woodland’s full of animals,
of every different kind.
So shall we stay here for a while
and see what we can find?

Experience the everyday wonder of nature in this first book of poetry, exploring a magical woodland year. With poems by acclaimed writer Rachel Piercey and illustrations by Freya Hartas, join Bear on his journey from spring to winter with lots of friends to meet, places to explore, and things to spot along the way.
