Welcome friends and settle in there's lots to do and see
as I tell you the story of our oldest, wisest tree...
With its gnarled trunk, giant branches and glossy leaves, Grand Old Oak is Bear's favourite tree in the woodland. When Bear learns that Oak is five hundred years old, he decides to plan an extra-special birthday ball.
In this first storybook of poetry, join Bear and his friends through the seasons as they prepare a magical birthday party, with lots of things to spot along the way.

· Engaging spotting activity for young children, with spreads themed around Oak's birthday party set in the magical woodland, and a familiar cast of woodland friends to follow
· A sure hit for fans of the well-loved first book in the series, If You Go Down to the Woods Today
