A Wonderful Wood is a fun adventure poem of five forest creatures' preparation for hibernation, full of the onomatopoeic sounds of nature and the warmth of friendship. Reminiscent of Julia Donaldson's 'Fox's Socks', A Wonderful Wood brings to life this group of friendly woodland creatures in a unique and calming way.
The beautiful, high-contrast, black-and-white illustrations make this a perfect storybook for newborns, designed to be stimulating and engaging in their first weeks, as their vision is starting to develop.
Created by the early-learning team at Kennedy Publishing, one of the UK's largest children's magazine publishers, the book provides a raft of benefits that support early development. Black-and-white pictures are a perfect way to encourage visual development, enhance tummy time when placed in front of babies on the floor and increase attention span.
A complete sensory experience that helps little ones to familiarise themselves with their grown-up's voice, the bold and contrasting colours are paired with a rhythmical cadence that can also help soothe them to sleep - the perfect gift for new mums and dads!
As little ones grow, they can enjoy A Wonderful Wood as an independent reading experience. Young readers can learn about hibernating animals and experience natural habitats, while nurturing an enjoyment for rhyme, rhythm and fun with language.
