Get out into the fresh air - if not now, then when?

Get out of the house and into nature. Whether it's a garden, a park or the nearby forest, they are fascinating spaces just waiting to be discovered and conquered by children. Huts can be built from stones, branches and leaves, a dead tree is home to all sorts of insects and anyone who listens can get to know the typical sounds of the animals.

Out into the Fresh Air is a book with many suggestions that promote a respectful, playful curiosity about animals, plants and nature for a new generation of children and parents who want to deal with their environment consciously and sensibly.
