Backpack Explorer: Discovering Trees: What Will You Find?

by Storey Publishing

Backpack Discovering Trees encourages junior naturalists to step outside and get curious about the trees they see, whether in their backyard, in their neighborhood, in a park, or on a trail. With this take-along activity book—the fifth in the best-selling Backpack Explorer series from the Editors of Storey Publishing—kids will stop, look, listen, and touch as they search for leaves, count tree rings, notice the sound of birds or wind in the branches, gather pinecones, and feel bark. Each page is packed with prompts and activities, including 12 interactive field guides for identifying common trees, simple craft projects such as Make a Tree Rubbing or Make a Nature Mask from colorful leaves, and simple discovery features with fun tree facts. Equipped with a real magnifying glass, stickers, and log for recording tree finds, this book is the perfect accompaniment for any nature adventure.

[The Silvan Reverie | Sarah Street · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fascinating and engaging nonfiction book and activity guide for children on the topic of trees. This entire backpack explorer series from Storey Publishing stands out. Children are presented with lots of nicely organized facts about trees using illustrations, real photos and infographics. The book not only includes facts for children to learn but interactive elements like scavenger hunts and ways to keep track of trees children have spotted. This book might work well in a nature group or classroom setting.
