Book Synopsis

Deep in the woods, beneath the trees, the animals are gathering. It’s time for Mrs Owl’s Forest School.

Join Mouse, Squirrel, Fox and Rabbit for a little forest school adventure. Out in the woods, they can learn about wildlife, try something new, get creative and – of course – make friends! And today they are learning how to go camping for the night.

This book has something for everyone, whether or not they attend a forest school. Embracing the Forest School focus on play and exploration – and written with an expert consultant – this series will have little ones itching to get outdoors and having adventures of their own.

Seb Braun creates charming, detailed scenes that perfectly blend together picture book storytelling with non-fiction details. In his spare time, Seb volunteers as a Cubs and Squirrels leader (part of the Scouts movement), and his love and knowledge of the outdoors shines through on every page.

Our Review Panel says...

This book follows a group of animals as they prepare to spend the night camping as part of their Forest School work. The animals have to work together to complete a range of activities for Mrs Owl, who is the Forest School teacher. They learn the different wood needed to build a fire, how to cook popcorn over a fire, some of the names of the constellations and how our eyes adapt to see in the dark.

Squirrel is a little scared of the dark and Mrs Owl explains why there is nothing to be scared of. They finish the night with a cup of warm hot chocolate around the fire before snuggling up in their sleeping bags.

This book would be wonderful for EYFS or KS1 children that were taking part in Forest School or thinking of camping out, or those who wanted to introduce the topic of night time. The book has little side notes that provide detailed information about some of the technical words used in the story. The book also has suggestions of other activities children can complete, if they are part of a Forest School or just exploring the great outdoors. For example, there is a guide to Mrs Owl’s campfire bananas and how to improve your sight at night.
