Outdoor Visits: The Lives of Animals, Insects and Plants in Nature, Illustrated for Children in Storybook Style
Description
This lively children's classic contains stories about the lives of many plants, creatures and insects in the parks, ponds, woodland and countryside during the four seasons. Over 100 illustrations are included. Divided into winter, spring, summer, and fall, we follow a young lad named Don and a young girl named Nan as they explore and learn about the animals and nature around them. They venture into gardens, parks, woods, fields, and ponds, observing how different flowers and animals adapt to the changing seasons. The migration of birds, the blooming and fruiting of plants, and the appearance of bumblebees are some of the natural phenomena they learn about. The book is enhanced by detailed drawings that help readers discover more about nature, and it can be used as a guide during outdoor excursions. At the end of each season, questions are provided for readers to recall what they've observed before moving to the next season.
