A New Game

Written by Diane Jackman

Illustrated by Michael Willet

The wind blew autumn leaves along the sunny paths in the forest.

“Lets go for a walk,” said Mattie.

“We could have a treasure hunt,” said Henry

“Lots of interesting things to find in the forest.”

A series of lines with different types of nuts and seeds, each with a quote from a character named Mattie or Henry. The illustrations include a pine cone, a red leaf, a conker, an acorn with a cup, a flower, a flint, and a green egg with a shell.

Henry and Mattie set off with their baskets. It was great fun hunting through the trees and spotting things on their list.

At last it was time to go home and look at what they had collected.

Henry’s special find was a blue feather from a Mandarin duck on the lake.

Mattie’s special find was a striped feather from a golden-brown pheasant.

“Let’s show Granny Mouse when she comes for tea.” said Henry.
