The sun has gone down, but that doesn’t mean that family fun has to come to an end. On A Starry Night is an inspiring collection of 52 things to do, make and play when there’s very little or no natural light, and the evenings feel long and empty. There’s something incredibly alluring about playing after dark for kids – it feels grown-up, exciting, and a little bit scary. This will include ideas for indoor and outdoor fun, things to do in all seasons, and ideas that will work whether you live in a city, town or country. It will inspire parents to go beyond sitting their kids in front of the TV, and to take back the night and be creative with their evenings as a family. Fun, light, but with plenty of practical information, this book will include checklists, box-outs and spaces to make notes and scribble. It’ll be aimed at families, but simple enough for older children to read and enjoy.

And, how many tunnels are there under our streets? Each featured city presents a ‘skyline of the underground’ through specially commissioned cut-away illustrations and unique cartography.
