Synopsis

Who will woodlouse meet along the way? And which creature will take her leg away? Woodlouse has certainly had her fair share of close calls. From hungry predators to unexpected encounters, she’s had more than her fair share of near misses. Luckily she’s clever, quick thinking and has a special trick that helps her escape when danger comes her way.

Follow woodlouse through some of her most memorable near misses and discover the creatures she meets along the way. But there’s one question that remains, how will woodlouse lose one of fourteen legs?
