About the Books
Nick Butterworth's Percy the Park Keeper series has charmed young readers for generations with its gentle blend of nature, friendship, and everyday kindness. In this six-book set, Percy tends to his park through every season, always finding a caring solution when his animal friends need help. One Snowy Night opens the collection with a cold winter's night rescue and includes a surprise pull-out poster. After the Storm follows Percy as he helps displaced animals rebuild after a fallen oak tree. The Rescue Party shows Percy setting aside his day off to help an injured rabbit, while The Secret Path turns a routine maze trim into a playful spring adventure. The Treasure Hunt sends Percy's animal friends on an exciting clue-following quest, and Percy's Bumpy Ride caps the set with an inventive, laughter-filled contraption ride. Butterworth's detailed, expressive illustrations bring the park and its creatures vividly to life, while his gentle storytelling emphasizes empathy, resourcefulness, and community. Consistently praised for their calm pacing and reassuring tone, these stories are especially well suited to shared reading between parents and young children, though they also reward children beginning to read simple sentences on their own. Together, the six books offer a full seasonal journey through Percy's park, making this collection a satisfying, complete introduction to the series for new fans and a nostalgic favorite for those already familiar with Percy's adventures.
