Reviews for I Love Dirt!: 52 Activities to Help You and Your Kids Discover the Wonders of Nature

Here is the potential for much fun, many meaningful experiences--and a trove of shared stories. --Richard Louv, from the foreword There may be no better way to ensure the well-being of the natural world tomorrow than to introduce children to its many small wonders today. Through a series of accessible activities designed to engage young minds and all five senses, this book reminds us of--even celebrates--the magic to be found right outside our own back doors. --Todd Christopher, cofounder of National Wildlife Federation's Green Hour I Love Dirt! is a perfect book for parents, teachers, or anyone who cares about children and nature. A nature-lover herself, Jennifer Ward has done an excellent job creating a collection of fun, interactive ways for children everywhere to connect with nature and combat the growing negative impact of sedentary, indoor lifestyles on our youth. --David Mizejewski, naturalist, National Wildlife Federation, and host of Animal Planet's Backyard Habitat A perfect companion to your nature center and hiking trail excursions! --Nashville Parent A wonderful resource for parents. This book could be the ticket to many wonderful memories for both parent and child. --Portland Book Review
