Author Description

There is an EcoJournal for each of the four seasons. A Kid's Spring EcoJournal invites kids to write about nature on pages exquisitely illustrated by Margaret Brandt. The author has included short entries from her nature journals, which express her irrepressible and unflagging delight in the natural world. Kids love to read about Trickle Creek, where deer eat the tulips and baby squirrels peek out of the squirrel house. The Spring EcoJournal is packed with nature activities for exploring spring. Kids can build a mouse house or a mole dome, raise a wild caterpillar or a leggy tadpole, make crafts with pressed wildflowers, make a track trap, build an eco-pond, plant a moonlight garden, observe wildlife from a blind, and enjoy dozens of other spring activities that teach them to love the world of nature. Based on solid science. Grades 3-up.
