By Sara Knight (Sage, 14.99, ISBN 978-1-84920-630-3)

This book, written by a trained forest school practitioner and senior lecturer, aims to give early years students and practitioners the confidence to offer challenging and adventurous outdoor activities for children. The issues considered include the importance of taking risks, the benefits of rough and tumble play, being outside in 'bad' weather, and the role of the adult in facilitating exciting outdoor experiences.
