No matter where children live, nature is apparent just outside their windows. Each book in the Outside My Window series concentrates on an accessible aspect of nature, allowing children to begin identifying key characteristics of various forms of plant and animal life. Each book features a hands-on activity to extend learning -- making a scrapbook of leaf rubbings, keeping a log of animal activities, making a dried flower bookmark, or building a simple bird feeder. Colorful pictures, interesting facts, a helpful glossary, and a list of additional books to read are also included.
