"""I got one of these for each of my girl scouts as part of their bridging ceremony to Brownies. It was a hit, and I LOVE that it starts out with helpful tips and safety and then gives them complete freedom to observe whatever they'd like."" -- Kalikala ""Perfect for Charlotte Mason homeschoolers! Threw it in our backpack with some colored pencils so we always have it ready for nature outings!"" -- Mamaof2 I would have loved this book at a kid. Part 1 tells you how to observe nature and record what you see. Part 2 consists of journal pages with places to write and draw. I like the neat features in the front, like a key for identifying scat and tracks of different animals. The open-endedness of this book makes it appropriate for a variety of different natural environments."" --Yvetta"
