Geuder. Nature Explorer is a kids' guide to observing and interacting
with the natural world.
The book begins with a chapter on how children can become naturalists.
It outlines how to observe, identify, and record, as well as tips on
staying safe in nature. In the next section, young readers learn how to
use their various senses during observation. That's followed by an
introduction to backyard wildlife, including butterflies, chipmunks,
frogs, squirrels, and more, along with a selection of common trees,
wildflowers, and other types of plants. Nature Explorer also includes
17 crafty activities and hands-on projects, such as starting a home
terrarium, pressing flowers, and painting rocks.
Jenny's stunning watercolors captivate kids' imaginations, and the
fascinating text teaches about the world that surrounds them. Plus, the
tried-and-true projects are sure to get kids interested in the great
outdoors. So get Nature Explorer, and start your children on a path to
becoming naturalists. Use it on its own, or pair it with the Nature
