OLD OAK AND LITTLE ACORN (PIKKU) (HB)

Following the much praised picture book The Happy Hedgerow, which was endorsed by CPRE The Countryside Charity and The Tree Council, Elena Mannion again collaborates with illustrator Erin Brown. Strong Old Oak is a haven for all creatures in his magnificent hedgerow. In this, his mast year, he has one little acorn that is very dear to him. When Little Acorn is carried off by a squirrel, he must survive the perils of hungry deer and curious walkers. A brave little sapling emerges in the same field as Old Oak in this wonderful tale of regeneration, growth and the cycle of life which will keep children connected to the natural world, as well as fostering their love of reading.
