"What if I built a lake in my own backyard?" he pondered.
How can having a big imagination get you into big trouble?
Just ask Willy Nilly and discover the best series of picture books for outdoor kids. Watch in amazement as Willy's ordinary ideas turn into extraordinary adventures.
Follow the Breadcrumbs is a beautifully written and illustrated imaginative story that will become a favourite in your collection. Especially if you are seeking garden stories for kids, books for outdoor kids or a picture book about animals.
This adventure starts with an ordinary trip to the lake, but then Willy's imagination takes over. His big idea is to build his own lake in his backyard so the animals can visit him. He digs the "lake," fills it with water and uses breadcrumbs to lure the animals back to his house. Willy soon discovers a great idea can lead to a whole lot of trouble when every animal in the lake arrives in his backyard.
Read along with your kids as Willy works hard to get himself out of trouble and get all the animals back where they belong to entertain those visiting the lake.
