Reviews

"This book is a delight, providing thoughtful insights and numerous practical ideas for nurturing young children's involvement with nature. It beautifully integrates concepts about nature into all aspects of children's lives."-Eva L. Essa, Foundation Professor Emerita, University of Nevada, Reno

"The current educational focus on benchmarks has created learning environments that often sideline exploration and imaginative play. Honig not only reminds us of our responsibility to connect children with nature but also gives us a fabulous guidebook of easy ideas for outdoor experiences that will benefit all children."-Jennifer Caravello, Language Arts Teacher, Fayette County Public Schools, Lexington, Kentucky

"Honig provides practical ideas that are appealing, accessible, and multisensory. While supporting the teaching of a love of nature to promote compassionate, ecologically minded citizens, she also shows us how experiences with nature can be the most valuable and rich learning opportunities in young children's lives."-Elise Hansen, Preschool Director, Schlitz Audubon Nature Center, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
