I really enjoyed this book. It is separated by seasons and therefore it is easy to follow.

This book makes science seem less intimidating and makes you want to go and explore to see what you might find. I think in a classroom or home setting this is a great choice.

Wildflowers and the Stories Behind their Names would be a lovely and most helpful companion on a nature hike.… (mais)
