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, Praise for the Wild by Nature series
