Secrets Of The Mountain

Explore a mountain landscape as daylight changes and different creatures reveal the life within it. Libby Walden's lyrical words and Richard Jones's atmospheric illustrations make the setting feel both immense and full of small discoveries. The journey invites children to linger over each scene, connecting the beauty of a nature picture book with questions about habitats, changing light and the animals sharing the mountain.

Age suitability and learning: Preschool (3-5), Primary (6-8). Rhythm and repeated language help younger listeners join in, while primary readers can explore the words and pictures more closely. Reading aloud supports listening, sound awareness and expressive speech; following the story encourages recall and talking about what happens next.
