Have you got a budding naturalist in your home? You know, a kid with a rock collection. A leaf collection. A seashell collection. An insect collection. Well then, Clare Walker Leslie's The Nature Connection: An Outdoor Workbook for Kids, Families, and Classrooms
is for you. The book is neatly organized by month and includes outdoor
activities for families to do together. Leslie instructs kids what to
pack in an "outdoor adventure kit", explains phenomena such as moon
phases, eclipses, tides, and the summer solstice. There is even an
activity in the book that involves hunting for animal tracks. It is
called a "workbook", but is not the fill-in-the-blank kind. It is more
of an outdoor journal, complete with ample sketching space. This book is
the best naturalist book for children that I have come across. Grab
this book and get out there!
