Description

A Field Guide to Summer is a pocket-sized introduction to the summer season. Building on children's natural curiosity about the world around them, this book aims to establish a connection with nature at an early age that will go on to last a lifetime!

Hunt for bugs, build your own sundial, identify different trees, and make your own flower crown. Discover how caterpillars transform into butterflies and why bees are so busy in summertime.

This book features lyrical poems, hands-on crafts and activities, scientific facts, and identifier pages to help children find different animals and plants. Whether a child's access to nature is in the form of an urban park, a private garden, a field, or a forest, there is so much to discover and experience.

Critical Reviews

"A lovely series of field guides that encourage an appreciation for and reverence of nature while including valuable information and fun activities for kids. Dawnay presents two interactive volumes filled with poetry, sidebars, prompts, and infographics that will inspire kids to use all of their senses to explore the many factors that make each season special . . . . The painterly illustrations truly set these titles apart. Brouwers uses vivid colors to depict the awe-inducing markers of each season."-- "School Library Journal"
