Such a useful and beautifully put together treasury to have at hand and lovely to dip in and out of. Will become a firm family favourite on the bookshelf.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for letting me access an advance copy of this book in exchange for my feedback.

3.5 stars for this sweet seasonal book for children.

Colourfully illustrated by AnneliesDraws, this is a nice little book to connect children with nature and being outdoors, as it is crammed full of activities and information. I grew up on a farm but I still learned from this book, for example did you know that the word for the the study of seasonal changes in plants and animals from year to year is called phenology? My only concern with this Spring Treasury is that a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing – for example, if readers feel over-confident that they can now, safely, identify edible flowers or bathe a duckling… However, with adult supervision and due care, this book should provide children with a great deal of active fun and learning.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this book in return for an honest review.

This is a really cute little book, full of activities for adults and kids to do together. The recipes are pretty healthy and feature items from nature. Many of the activities encourage foraging in nature, and lots of other fun activities to get kids interacting, crafting and immersed in nature.

My thanks to NetGalley, author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an advance copy.

A really lovely spring anthologies of activities and information related to the season. It was really informative (I learnt a lot I had never come across before) alongside a range of different activities from crafts, cooking, outdoor adventures and games. A great addition to any family bookshelf or for activities to do at school.

I have a weakness for anything seasonal so when I saw the title for this book I had to take a peek. It truly is a treasury. I loved how there were facts that I didn't know - almost secrets of nature that Angela shares with us the reader. Interwoven between the secret language of nature that is shared are craft activities and seasonal recipes that perfectly match the information we are given. These are activities that can be enjoyed as a family together. I will be adding this book to my wish list to get a physical copy. It's a book that I would like to return to each and every Spring. You can tell how much I enjoyed it that I had to find out if there were books for the other seasons. There is already an Autumn and Winter edition and a Summer one that I will eagerly await in May.

Absolutely beautiful illustrations but possibly a bit too country for us. A lot of the crafts were lovely, some maybe a bit too involved for young children and instructions on how to bathe ducklings definitely inaccessible.
