My Daughter Loves this Book!.......2007-06-28
We purchased this book, along with the follow-on "More Fun with Nature" at the Cabela's in Boise, Idaho.
My daughter always has one of these books nearby - she's sitting on the couch reading this one right now.
A good deal of information is presented in a neat, friendly way. We used this book to identify a luna moth and a douglas squirrel within days of arriving in Washington. Although not as thorough as a field guide, the format makes it very accessible (and therefore more likely to be read) to children.
I highly recommend both books and look forward to purchasing more in the series.
Great for Homeschoolers.......2007-03-16
This book has the perfect amount of information for elementary age children; my kids won't put it down. It is the best science resource book that I've found so far- a must have for homeschoolers or kids that are constantly discovering new creatures in the yard. The craft ideas are fun too!
Where's the Turtee's, Mommy?.......2002-12-19
My son is 2 years old and has been looking through this book for months. He likes to see all the animals. The "Turtee" (Turtle) section is his favortie. I can see he is truly going to enjoy this when he is older. It is very informative and fun.
Great Book.......2001-11-07
I love this book. I found it when I was at the nature art museum in Jackson Hole. I cannot wait to use this when I become a teacher. I am already using it in my classes for lesson plans. I will definitely use this when I have my own children too.

A superb help in the classroom.......2007-01-04
This was just what I was looking for. Wonderful ideas on how to bring the 5 senses alive for preschoolers!
Fun with my 5 senses.......2000-07-19
I am a preschool teacher and bought this book to use in my classroom when I begin to teach the 5 senses. This is a great book for those who work with children and for those who have children. It is full of great ideas for lesson plans and for teaching your child the 5 senses. The illustrations and directions are easy to follow and make learning about the senses fun.
Book Description
Winner of the Dog Writers Association of America
“Best Children’s Book 2003”!
“From its irresistible cover photograph to its concluding ideas for directing a love of dogs into a lifetime career, this is an appealing, user-friendly book, buttressed by plenty of scientific fact.”—Booklist
“Fun, enlightened fare for inquisitive dog owners.”—School Library Journal
Get to know your best friend better by entering the world of canine senses. With this fun mix of activities, play, and science, kids can find out more about how dogs see, hear, smell, taste, and touch differently from humans, and how a dog’s life and aging process differ from ours. You even learn to read your dog’s mind— brain function, intelligence, memory, and more. The most fun part is the experiments to test your dog’s health, reflexes, vision, and sense of smell; or even trace its behavior back to the wolves that are its ancestors. A Selection of Scholastic Book Clubs.

Fun with science and dogs!.......2003-07-05
This book is great! It has all sorts of facts about how the dog's body and mind works. It has experiments that could be used for science fair projects or just for fun at home. The dogs have fun too! It would be a great book for any young person who wanted to understand their pet more, and especially for any aspiring veterinarian! The information in it is very informative for both children and adults.

pretty good childrens nature guide..........2005-07-24
this book is actually five seperate nature books put together in one volumne. I would recommend it as a book for a child just getting into nature-birdwatching, rocks,trees and seeds, etc. It gives you basic info on several common "natural" things found in the US.
The book has it's good and bad points. While it covers lots of different areas-what it does cover is VERY basic-kind of like a starting point in several natural fields. The drawings are OK-but to be honest they are not clear enough for proper id of many things-for example, several of the seed id's-even I as an adult couldn't tell one from the other. I think either better art or photos would have been more appropriate in this type of book.
The age range suggested is 7 to 10. My 8 year old son did skim through it, but nothing really seemed to grab him. He's pretty "into" all things nature, and has many field guides-so-a child just starting out might appreciate it more.
The craft aspect I give 0 stars-as the projects are few, and VERY simplistic and barely explained-very poor- do not buy if you are looking for nature crafts:(
Overall, I'd suggest it for a young 6-8 aspiring naturalist-if you buy it used-I wouldn't suggest paying full price as it's honestly pretty run of the mill.
3 stars.
Five books in one.......2002-10-28
Like its predecessor (_Fun with Nature_), this hardback volume is really five "Take-Along Guides" bound together: _Wildflowers, Blooms, and Blossoms_; _Berries, Nuts, and Seeds_; _Birds, Nests, and Eggs_; Seashells, Crabs and Sea Stars_; and _Rocks, Fossils, and Arrowheads_. You often see those individual paperbacks on sale at nature center gift shops. Each page features a single plant, animal, or object, and matches simple facts with realistic artwork. These are the kids of natural items children will be most likely to find in North America. Relevant basic activities are scattered among the entries. My favorite section here is from _Birds, Nest, and Eggs_, because each species takes up a double-page spread, with the bird on the left-hand side and its identifiable nest and eggs on the facing page on the right. The illustrations are beautiful. Recommended for naturalists, educators, and parents -- anyone who works with young children to help them understand the natural environment around them.

Book Description
Robert E. Howard turned to writing comic and dialect Western tales only late in his career, but he found an immediate and continuously successful market for them, and they are in many respects his most accomplished and polished works. The sixteen tales collected here are some of the best of his stories, featuring Breckinridge Elkins, Pike Bearfield, and Buckner J. Grimes—three inimitable characters who lead well-intentioned lives of perpetual confusion, mischance, and outright catastrophe. Fifteen of the stories were published between 1934 and 1937 in Action Stories, Argosy, or Cowboy Stories; the other remained unpublished for more than thirty years. Many of these stories were rewritten for book publication and have never been reprinted in their original form. They are reminiscent of traditional southwestern tall tales, told in dialect, featuring larger-than-life characters, swift action, broad satire, and wry humor.

Western Insanity, Howard Style.......2006-06-13
Robert E Howard's Western heroes create hilarious chaos wherever they go, from devastation at a crooked Election Day to the insanity produced by a young giant of a man going into a civilized town for the first time in his life. And darned near leveling the whole community. By accident.
Each & every story reads like the Saturday Night Live crew playing the Man With No Name.
Fine Westerns, don't get me wrong. But lots of laughs, too.
Robert E Howard is most famous for his "Conan The Barbarian" creation.
But this collection of Western tales proves his talent wasn't limited to that.
