This book was timely in our lives. Our garden grows more each day, and the insects are part of this new downtown ecosystem. I never needed to suggest any of the activities to my children because they spend so much of their time observing the plants and creatures in our garden. This book gave words to their observations.

Read for CMEC form 1b-1a. I am starting to really appreciate these Arabella Buckley books. Some people don't because they talk about British wildlife only, but she deals in ideas and principles and uses the local wildlife to illustrate them. I find it very applicable to American nature study, and my student loves to read and narrate these books and gets very excited about the ideas.

We love these little books by Arabella Buckley. I usually try to tie one in with our “special topic” in nature study. The chapters are short, informative, and hold the children’s attention. Perfect for ages 6-10 (I’ve learned plenty too!).
