HAPPY HEDGEROW (PIKKU) (HB)

Somewhere in the folds of the countryside, Old Oak lives content and fulfilled in his hedgerow by the barley field. When the farmer pulls up the Far Hedgerow one day, Old Oak is dismayed. Can he care for all the fleeing birds? The field is now too open, and the wind and rain are carrying away the soil! Hope is finally returned when a new farmer comes to plant saplings one cold winter’s morning. Illustrated in a charming style, with accurate details of flora and fauna, this lovely book shows children just how empty our countryside would be without these wonderful, ancient habitats, engendering a lasting affection and appreciation of our hedgerows.
