Nature’s noises… can you hear them?
Nature’s wonders… can you see them?
It starts as a small song… faint at first, as the wind picks up speed.
Leaves, whirling and twirling.
Next a rock starts to roll as it finds the rhythm of the woods.
Birds join, a bee’s wings flit. Soon the whole forest is filled with magnificent sights and sounds, but who is there to hear it? Who is there to see it?
Two red shoes have come out to play and the child within them are the audience for nature’s parade.
Spectacular sights and sounds fill this day in the woods with adventure, wonder and delight!
An interactive read aloud full of cascading sounds and movements, perfect for ages 2-6 years old.
