A Walk in the Dark - by Hemming (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A dusk till dawn walk through nature through the eyes of the animals who hunt, scavenge, play, dig and build while most people are tucked up in bed.

Beginning just as the human world is slowing down for the evening, A Walk in the Dark takes the reader into the woods and the moonlit countryside. As the sun sets, a family of rabbits hop out of their burrows . . . until they spot a hungry fox returning to the badger's sett . . . and follow the badger through a field where wood mice hide from owls circling overhead . . .

With fact boxes on every page and tips on how we can all help nocturnal animals, little ones will discover a whole world that's taking place in the dark.

Alice lives in Hertfordshire, UK with her husband and two children. When she's not visiting schools, she works in a writing shed at the top of her garden, where she can immerse herself in the world of her stories.
