Part of the "Naturewalks" series, this book relates a walk by Alex, Peter and their friends by the canal. There is a simple narrative describing what the children see, and highlighted "fact boxes" reinforcing their observations with more detailed information. Thus younger readers can simply enjoy the story-line, whilst older readers (or reading partners) can use the boxes to find out more about natural history in general. The colourful artwork may also be used as a first guide to the recognition of common animals, plants and trees.
