and the 'Wild About Guide to' pages
A series of fun and fascinating guided walks for children and families to explore London's green spaces. The book turns a walk in the park into a fun adventure of wildlife discovery.
All walks are designed specifically for children to lead their family on the walk; for the child to become the guide. There are clear, child-friendly maps and step-by-step directions.
The emphasis is on discovering the wildlife in the parks. There are questions throughout each walk that encourage the children (and the rest of the family) to discover the birds, animals and plants in the park. Each book contains a set of Wildlife Identification Guides that are used on the walk, in order to answer the questions and to help identify other animals and plants; 'Trees', 'Wildflowers', 'Birds', 'Butterflies', 'Mini-Beasts' (bugs and creepy-crawlies), 'Ponds and Streams' and 'Freshwater Fish'. In addition interesting historical facts and puzzles are also included.
There are six different walks set in Hampstead Heath, Regent's Park, Hyde Park, Kew Gardens, Richmond Park and along the Thames at Ham. As well as the six walks there are also shorter reviews of other interesting wild places to discover in London e.g. Coram's fields, The Wetlands Centre, Battersea Park etc.
