DK Canada’s Audubon The Practical Naturalist: Explore the Wonders of the Natural World would fit as easily in a child’s summer camp backpack as it would in an overnight bag for summer road-trips or family trips. I can imagine a child telling their parents or siblings about all the interesting things they learned about in this book.
The sections in this book include:
- The Web of Life
- Weather and Sky
- What a Naturalist Needs
- Close to Home
- Farm and Field
- Forest
- Scrubland and Heath
- Grassland
- Mountain and Hillside
- Lake, River and Stream
- Coast
- Tundra and Ice
To check out the video and for more information, visit the DK Canada site. The pictures and explanations in this book will easily keep a child interested and wanting to learn more. There are sections where children can use the pictures to identify trees and insects whilst on a nature walk. My favourite part is the section on the Coast, as it talks about tides, plant life near water and a lot of other interesting things.
For the budding environmentalist, or child interested in science and nature, this book, priced at $22.95 makes a great gift for summer adventuring. I received this book for review purposes.
