Some of my favourite books growing up were the Ladybird book series of ‘What to Look for in Spring/Summer/Autumn/Winter’. This book reminded me of those as it has a similar feel and could very much be seen as the adult version with photographs rather than illustrations. Going through each of the series starting with Spring, the book documents different changes that take place and what to spot. Whether it be a particular animal, bird, plant, insect or sensory change there is much variety to be found in the pages. Normally in these books I found the photographs drown out the writing, however that was not the case here. Adams writes quite poetically at times and makes the natural world come to life. Each page was jam packed full of information with links being drawn between different seasonal changes and the effect this has on all living things. The photographs too are stunning and really showed how beautiful nature is, even some parts of it we might not normally think of. A real gem of a book!
