Backpack Explorer: Discovering Trees encourages junior naturalists to
step outside and get curious about the trees they see, whether in their
backyard, in their neighborhood, in a park, or on a trail. With this
take-along activity book--the fifth in the best-selling Backpack
Explorer series from the Editors of Storey Publishing--kids will stop,
look, listen, and touch as they search for leaves, count tree rings,
notice the sound of birds or wind in the branches, gather pinecones, and
feel bark. Each page is packed with prompts and activities, including 12
interactive field guides for identifying common trees, simple craft
projects such as Make a Tree Rubbing or Make a Nature Mask from colorful
leaves, and simple discovery features with fun tree facts. Equipped with
a real magnifying glass, stickers, and log for recording tree finds,
this book is the perfect accompaniment for any nature adventure.
