Editorials
Children's Literature -
This fun, user-friendly book lets kids explore nature in their own back yards, whether they live on the edge of a wilderness or in a big city. (In fact, the book warns specifically about the dangers of broken glass and discarded syringes-a sad commentary but a smart move.) Activities such as casting animal tracks, building a feeding station for a "mini-beast motel," creating spore prints, doing a worm dance and sprouting mung beans can turn any kid into a naturalist. Many of these activities are suitable for lower-elementary science projects as well as weekend family fun.Book Details
