This is a wonderful journaling tool for children and families alike. As a homeschooler of an 10 year-old, I found this an excellent adjunct for field trips. There are over 40 activities that will have you exploring the woods, the meadows, wetlands, and things that go (?) in the night! The drawings are delightful! Rediscover the beauty of nature in a fun and informative format. From field notes to leaf rubbings, your budding naturalists will be eager to try the simple yet educational exercises. Mine did...and so did I!

My Nature Journal with its fill-in worksheets may not be appropriate for library lending, but parents should consider this for kids with an affection for natural history: kids ages 8-14 will find it packed with suggestions for nature activities which encourage observation and note-taking skills. From exploring insects and butterflies to creating poetry and observing the sunset, this pairs facts and easy observational instructions with fun pages of fill-in guided activities in the outdoors. Colorful and encouraging with a very bright cover inviting participation.

My Nature Journal is enthralling in its simple but complete approach to enjoying and learning about nature. For children of all ages either at home or at school, the book includes great nature activities for adults and children to do together. And My Nature Journal effortlessly combines reading, art, writing and science throughout the nature explorations. The book provides colorful but detailed illustrations of the five natural worlds: woodlands, meadows, ponds and streams,seashore, and twilight. Highly recommended for parents, educators, homeschoolers and kids' clubs as a simple and enjoyable way to approach nature. From The Science Spiders Newsletter, January 2000.

We've only had this journal for a couple of weeks but it is already an essential part of our day. My 7-year old daughter truly cherishes this journal and loves to share it with others. She even sleeps with it tucked under her arm. When a question comes up about ocean life, spiders, moths or wildflowers, she shouts, "I know! I'll look in my journal." If the answer is not found there, you can be sure she will add it once she finds it in a field guide, encyclopedia or from one of her nature buddies at the Dept. of Natural Resources. I was afraid that this journal would be stiffling but it is perfect for my youngest daughter. Her older siblings use blank journals for their entries, as do I, but this is just perfect for the younger set and it is lovely to flip through.

What a great intro to nature journaling! I bought this book for my daughter and she absolutely loves it. I intended to have my older son use a plain sketch diary for his nature journal, but after looking through this one with dd-I'll just have to get one of these for him, too. There are so many great ideas to sharpen our "city eyes". The Scavenger Hunt pages were a big hit and will help my children become more observant, I'm sure. The perfect amount of handholding for a first journal!

This has a great combination of information and activities to journal about in nature. So far it has been a wonderful way to introduce my 5 year old son to keeping a nature journal. He is learning and is excited to complete the activities. It was just what we were looking for to add to our home school. We decided to keep the activities in a separate notebook, and I could see using this book several times for the same student. It works well for our kindergartener, and I think it would be fun to do the journal activities again in a few years and see how different the entries are.

This has been on my Wish List for 2 years. As a Single Homeschool Mom I try to be very careful what we spend money on. I finally bought this for my 10 year old for Easter.This is a wonderful little journal. Has a lot of pages for sketches, observations and also plenty of information found in this. My daughter LOVES it. She takes it outside and explores the world in a new way.

This is a fantastic journal for children. It offers great ideas for journaling and has nice pictures and is arranged in a delightful way. I am pleased with this purchase for our homeschooling family. It is a perfect addition for the Charolette Mason nature walks.
