School Library Journal Review

YA-- A book that introduces beginners to the delights of studying natural phenomena. Neophyte naturalists learn how to develop a well-trained eye under the guidance of expert nature writers and photographers by observing a wide variety of ecosystems. Also included are accurate watercolor paintings showing hidden interiors of gardens, ponds, and animal dens. Instructions and graphics enable readers to build simple equipment such as a pond viewer, to make casts of animal tracks, to keep journal notes and sketches, and to locate fossils. A useful addition to ecology and natural science collections.-- Mary T. Gerrity, Queen Anne School, Upper Marlboro, MD (c) Copyright 2010.
