Joe loves wild things, but he lives in the middle of the city where are aren’t any, or so he thinks. But that night the Wild blows into Joe’s room and proceeds to lead him out into the city. The closer he looks, the more Joe realises that the Wild is all around him, in cracks in the pavement, under bushes, in the trees above our heads.
As his adventure continues, the Wild gets ever wilder and we can all see how mighty, surprising, beautiful and precious it is. The Wild world Thomas Docherty creates is simply gorgeous, the night sky glowing blue green in his illustrations, and turning to dazzling pink as the dawn approaches, wilder and wilder animals joining Joe as he explores this hidden kingdom.
The story works both as a magical adventure and a way to connect us to the wildlife all around, a book to open a new world for children.

About
Into the Wild Synopsis
One night Joe leaves his window open and with a swirl of leaves and a flap of feathers, the Wild invites him outside to explore the night-time city.
Joe learns that animals and plants can thrive even in the most built-up environment, and that with a bit of imagination, a city can be full of surprises.
A joyous celebration of nature in urban environments and a child’s imagination.
Thomas Docherty’s atmospheric illustrations are full of detail and children will spend hours poring over them.
Non-fiction information and a search and find activity at the back of the book for little readers who want to explore more of the wild.
