Natural History
Natural History:
Reptiles, amphibians, insects and arachnids of every variety are frequent guests in our home. We have a whole shelf of field guides (a collection I was inspired to acquire by my dear friend, Angela, who has since left this world, God rest her soul), and Holling Clancy Holling's books are among our favorites. Of course we have Anna Botsford Comstock's Nature Study Handbook, and a slew of natural history books from Yesterday's Classics. These include delightful stories about the creatures of the pond, forest, night, and meadow, as well as explanations of scientific principles and phenomena on a child's level from The Story Book of Science by Jean Henri Fabre. All the books from Yesterday's Classics are available to read online at The Baldwin Online Children's Literature Project.
