Mrs Owl's Forest School: The Moonlit Campout: A story to share & activities to try (Paperback) - Sebastien Braun

A non-fiction picture book series set in a forest school.

Deep in the woods, beneath the trees, the animals are gathering. It's time for Mrs Owl's Forest School.

Join Mouse, Squirrel, Fox and Rabbit for a little forest school adventure. Out in the woods, they can learn about wildlife, try something new, get creative and - of course - make friends! And today they are learning how to go camping for the night.

This book has something for everyone, whether or not they attend a forest school. Embracing the Forest School focus on play and exploration - and written with an expert consultant - this series will have little ones itching to get outdoors and having adventures of their own.

Seb Braun creates charming, detailed scenes that perfectly blend together picture book storytelling with non-fiction details. In his spare time, Seb volunteers as a Cubs and Squirrels leader (part of the Scouts movement), and his love and knowledge of the outdoors shines through on every page.

Perfect for 3-6 year olds.
