On the Hunt in Nature with Kids!

I just want to include a quick post about a new book on my desk...

Do you have a child between the ages 4 and 8 years old who loves nature and hunting for insects, plants, and birds?

If you do, the book in front of me would be your child's alley!  On the Nature Trail is a new book published by Storey books.  It's like a Cub Scout or Brownie (Girls Scouts) badge in a book!  The cover will make any kid want to open it!  It made my kids want to sit down with it right away!


Inside the cover is a page of stickers for "nature patches".  Then, we move on to Trail Tips (which are great of course and totally appropriate for this age!).  Then we move to twelve different sections... including leaves, birds, toads, flowers...  Each section has examples of different samples so that kids can identify what they are looking at.  In the midst of these sections, there are great, super easy nature activities to do with your kids, like the music with acorns and nature critters you can make together!  


This book has awesome pictures and is so well formatted.  It's easy to read and follow.  The spiral binding makes it easy to turn the pages and for the book to lie flat when you want it to!  Awesome!  If you're looking for a gift for a kids who's a nature lover this is the perfect book!

Storey Books has a great sweepstakes that you can enter HERE!  Enter the sweepstakes by April 23rd!

Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this book for review from Storey books, but these opinions are entirely my own!
