Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
The Wonderland of Nature
Nuri Mass · 2019
80/100
👍 Worth It
This is a genuine gem for homeschooling families — Nuri Mass writes about plants, insects, weather, light, and magnetism the way a curious, knowledgeable guide would, not like a textbook, and the Living Book Press reprint makes it accessible again. The Australian focus requires some context-bridging for families elsewhere, but the wonder-first approach to nature study is the kind of thing Charlotte Mason practitioners search hard to find.
