If You Go Down To The Woods Today

If You Go Down To The Woods Today by Rachel Piercey is a playful, quietly magical children’s poetry collection, brought to life with Freya Hartas’s richly detailed illustrations. It’s the kind of book that begs to be read aloud, shared at bedtime, and returned to again and again as new jokes and tiny woodland surprises reveal themselves.

Wander into the woods and you’ll meet an assortment of curious creatures and odd little moments, each poem opening a fresh window onto forest life. Piercey’s light touch and musical language make the verses feel welcoming for younger listeners, while the humour and observation keep grown-ups happily involved too.

Perfect for families who love illustrated poetry, nature-loving kids, and readers looking for a gentle read-aloud book with woodland animals, rhythm, and imagination.

Add it to your shelf for cosy nights, story time, and a dash of forest wonder.
