Trade Review'It’s absolutely perfect for stretched parents, lockdowns and school holidays. It would be a fabulous resource for ECE and primary schools, and I think younger teens would also be fascinated by some of the activities and the scientific framework that drives even the simplest of ideas here' - The Spinoff; 'The journal style format is perfect for dipping in and out of over time. Packed with 99 ideas for experiments, crafts, observation and other activities, it promises to keep children busy for hours and seems bound to spark other imaginative investigations and inquiries' - Otago Daily Times; 'This book will awaken children’s writing and drawing skills in their hunt to understand their environment' - Good magazine; 'The Nature Activity Book is exquisitely written, beautifully illustrated and lovingly crafted. It is a book that opens our understanding of and relations with the natural world. If you love discovering, testing out, exploring, making, collecting, drawing this is the book for you!' - NZ Poetry Box
