Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
The Kids' Nature Book
Susan Milord · 1996
77/100
👍 Worth It
This is the real deal — a Parents' Choice Gold Award winner backed by endorsements from the National Wildlife Federation and Mass Audubon, with a full year of hands-on nature activities to keep kids engaged season by season. It's a few decades old now so a handful of activities feel dated, but the substance and the outside recognition make this one genuinely worth having.
