There's a whole world outdoors waiting to embrace young children - with their curiosity, imagination, and enthusiasm - and to impart its treasures. This title invites you to explore this world with children from birth to age 8. Part ballad to nature, part irresistible invitation to teachers, this book will awaken and renew your own joy in nature - and move you to experience it with young children.
