This beautifully illustrated book is the perfect way for children to find out more about the changing seasons. It contains 60 animals, insects, birds, flowers and trees to look out for, with a fascinating fact and a picture for each one, and there's a chart with stickers so you can keep track of what you've seen.

About the author

Lara has loved books since the days of being read bedtime stories by her Irish dad and French mum. At school she set up a secondhand bookshop called Books Change Lives, and went on to study English and Italian at Oxford University. After teaching in Italy and Myanmar, she got her dream job as a writer for Usborne Publishing. From explaining how economics works, to inventing boredom-busting activities, to telling a good dragon yarn, she's enjoyed every minute of the job.
