Great book
Published by MaryG , 2 years ago
My 5 year old and I pick up this book at least 3 times a week. It’s a great resource.
Beautiful!
Published by HarrisSweetHome , 5 years ago
This is a great asset to anyone’s library who wants to teach their kiddos about the great outdoors. I can’t wait to dive into this more with my kids while homeschooling. The pictures are detailed and well down and the information is so well organized. Usborne books are a treasure to your library, trust me!
Usborne First Book of Nature
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is a WONDERFUL book to gently guide your young ones through an exploration of nature, life cycles, science/nature facts! Lots of little facts and excellent large color drawings illustrate the topics covered. An excellent Nature Study resource too.
One of our favorites
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is a general overview of many nature subjects. Best for younger kids or to use as a jumping off point for further study. Excellent illustrations. Has many hidden pictures throughout which my kids loved. We usually use this in kindergarten. All the kids really enjoyed it and spent many hours looking through it.
Held attention of wiggly just 6
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
For a book filled with fairly "dry facts", the language and art really held my son's attention. I know he comprehended because he pretended he was various animals in the following week. It is also pleasant on the eye and not so simple the grown-up will rush through to get away from it.
Fun book for child and parent alike
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
My four year old daughter loves this book. I use it as our homeschooling text for science and nature study, but it is not like a textbook at all. It is a compilation of seven separate titles in the Usborne First Nature series: Birds, Trees, Flowers, Butterflies and Moths, Wild Animals, Fishes, and Creepy Crawlies. Each chapter contains games like hunt the bumblebee in the Butterflies and Moths chapter, and watch the leaf bud open (on the upper right corner of each page) of the Trees chapter. My daughter is fascinated by the fabulous illustrations, such as the giant beetle in the Creepy Crawlies chapter, and the sharp teeth of the Dragon Fish in the Fishes chapter. The text is interspersed throughout the illustrations and is informative and entertaining. I am amazed at how much I learn each time I read part of this well-done book with my child. I highly recommend it!
