Wild Child: Nature Adventures for Young Explorers - With Amazing Things to Make, Find, and Do

Nature is all around us to see, hear, and touch--in the leafy woods, by the sparkling water, or simply out the window. What will you discover? A chattering jay hiding an acorn, a butterfly with camouflaged wings? Perhaps a brilliant red feather you'll carry home and tie to your journey stick, to remember.

Lavishly illustrated by Barry Falls, this oversize book invites children outdoors on every kind of adventure, from counting the species in an oak tree to searching the riverbed for aquatic dragonfly nymphs. With wonder and poetry, color and curiosity, Wild Child will stir the hearts of readers young and old alike.
