Peek Through Nature is Patricia Hegarty and Britta Teckentrup's gentle non-fiction picture-book franchise about the natural world, built around cut-through pages, lyrical text and simple life-cycle or habitat ideas. The books are more reflective than information-heavy, introducing trees, bees, the moon, homes, the sea, bugs and family through beautiful layered illustrations and calm read-aloud language. They are excellent for very young children who like tactile, visual books and for families who want nature facts wrapped in warmth, rhythm and wonder rather than dense explanation.
A beautiful cut-through nature picture-book series about trees, bees, the moon, homes, the sea, bugs and family.
