Charlie has just moved to the country. He’s living in a new home. He has a new dog. And he’s nervous about starting at a new school. When Charlie and his neighbour Lucy find huge footprints in Lucy’s paddock, they wonder if it has something to do with Yowie Forest nearby. Charlie doesn’t want anything to do with huge, hairy yowies, if they’re real – but when his dog runs into the forest, he might not have a choice!

This pack contains 6 copies of Into the Forest for use in small group teaching.
