Mini Travellers Review of The Magic of Forests

Great review of The Magic of Forests by Mini Travellers

in Fabulous Children’s Books for September 2023.

Mimi the cat is back! And this time the fabulous feline is our number one forestry fan. Mimi takes your reader on a wonderful journey exploring our wondrous woodlands, fantastic forests and joyful jungles around the world. 

 This book is absolutely fantastic.  It’s filled with fascinating facts all about different types of forests around the planet – from explaining different types of forests, to the history and fascinating folklore and fairytales associated with woodland, to the animals that live in different forests around the globe. Not only are the colourful drawings stunning and wonderfully illustrative but there are quizzes to take, unbelievable facts to digest (even around our feline friends -did you know that the sound of a cat’s purr can lower stress and anxiety levels?) and amazing activities to do to get you outside into the beauty and wonder of nature. We loved the activity ideas for back of the book – from the health benefits of tree-hugging to relaxing techniques for forest bathing, what’s not to love?! Mimi is one very special (and very clever cat) – thanks for taking us on this wonderful woodland adventure Mimi, we loved what we learned!
