Description
About the stories
Peep Inside Autumn invites little ones to lift flaps and peek through holes – finding acorns for the squirrels, looking inside a prickly case and spotting mushrooms growing on logs – while A Walk in Autumn is a lift-the-flap journey outdoors to discover what changes when the leaves start to turn. Together they connect story time with the natural world.
