Available braille grades:

In this dramatic fact book Gran takes Tom for a walk through lots of different places, describing the wildlife they see on the way. They go by a river, through woodland and across some farmland. Along the way they meet some famous people – Kate Humble is doing some wildlife filming and Chris Packham is doing a bat count. Music from Peter and the Wolf and Carnival of the Animals accompanies the descriptions except at the end when Scottish bagpipes accompany our description of The Monarch of the Glen by Landseer. This fact book may support subjects in the National Curriculum and could be used as an educational resource in class. Also good for home-schooling, homework-help, project work, independent learning and reading for pleasure.
