Explore Nature Through Reading
By Donna Smith
By Connie Zakowski 
Your child can learn about nature and responsibility with The Insect Book. Children will learn how to catch, feed and care for some of nature's smallest creatures. Interesting insects like grasshoppers, walking sticks, ladybugs and fireflies will amaze all ages even adults! Capture a caterpillar and observe with your child how it turns into a beautiful butterfly. The simple pencil drawings illustrate each insect, plus the various pieces of equipment recommended for collecting them. A glossary in the back of the book will help older children pronounce and remember the harder words and names.
Introducing your child to nature can be a wonderful experience for you and your little one. How Nature Works is a wonderful resource for parents who need ideas, or want to encourage a more "hands-on" approach. The book involves the reader with fun experiments and activities. Colorful photos will help you know you're on the right path
