A Wonderful Wood is a fun adventure poem of five forest creatures' preparation for hibernation, full of the onomatopoeic sounds of nature and the warmth of friendship. Reminiscent of Julia Donaldson's 'Fox's Socks', A Wonderful Wood brings to life this group of friendly woodland creatures in a unique and calming way. The beautiful, high-contrast, black-and-white illustrations make this a perfect storybook for newborns, designed to be stimulating and engaging in their first weeks, as their vision is starting to develop. Created by the early-learning team at Kennedy Publishing, one of the UK's largest children's magazine publishers, the book provides a raft of benefits that support early development. Black-and-white pictures are a perfect way to encourage visual development, enhance tummy time when placed in front of babies on the floor and increase attention span.A complete sensory experience that helps little ones to familiarise themselves with their grown-up's voice, the bold and contrasting colours are paired with a rhythmical cadence that can also help soothe them to sleep - the perfect gift for new mums and dads!As little ones grow, they can enjoy A Wonderful Wood as an independent reading experience. Young readers can learn about hibernating animals and experience natural habitats, while nurturing an enjoyment for rhyme, rhythm and fun with language.
