This has been our "go-to" when nothing exciting is happening outdoors. Why would this be the go to? Because there is something to do EVERY DAY of the year. Is it January 12th and you don't know what to do? The book has you covered. November 30th?...Got It. Save your sanity and check this out of your library...you'll see what I mean.
Pair this with The Storybook Of Science for your older children and you've got your science covered!
What a fun and educational book Nature Anatomy is! The kids will love to just peruse it and maybe even copy the illustrations :)
And I'd be remiss if I didn't suggest that YOU have yourself covered by getting the classic Handbook of Nature Study. This has tons of info for you to read (not to the kids) so you sound like a naturalist without trying! Simply find what your kids asked you about and let them know. Of course don't bore them by reading directly out of it...unless they are wanting you to, or they are in Jr. High and up.
