Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Nature Journal
Alice Cantrell · 2018
61/100
👎 Skip It
This is a well-thought-out prompted journal — the author built it with her own 9-year-old, and the layout sounds genuinely non-intimidating for kids just starting to notice the outdoors. It's a tool more than a story, though, so there isn't much narrative depth to weigh, and no outside reviews confirm how it holds up in practice.
