It’s World Book Day! We love getting out into the garden or going for a nice walk to a scenic spot with our favourite read (when the weather’s nicer, of course). It’s the perfect way to combine two forms of fun escapism.

 

To help celebrate World Book Day, and to encourage the whole family to get reading, we’ve compiled a list of all our favourite WILD reads for all ages. Whether you’re looking for something to read the little ones before bed or you’re teens want something to read to get them pumped for their outdoor adventure this summer, then we’ve got you covered!
