Description

Maisy and her friends are going on a nature walk! This First Experiences book entices children into the great outdoors.

Hooray! Maisy is packed up and ready to go on a nature walk. Everyone is excited when her friends meet up at the park entrance. They’re surprised at how many plants and animals live at the pond, from lily pads to ducks to ladybugs, tadpoles to fish and dragonflies. When they head into the woods, they find the animals to be shy—is that a deer, or even a fox? Looking closely at leaves and under logs helps in spotting small creatures like ants and earthworms. And when they hear birds high in the trees, Maisy uses binoculars to get a better look. Little ones on their first nature adventure and seasoned hikers alike will be happy to share their experience with their favorite mouse and her pals.
