A lovely book for budding or experienced naturalists! This fun little book follows 3 friends as they experience a hike -- each in their own way, highlighting the identification of various plants and animals along the way. Each friend responds to nature in their own way as well, sharing diverse ways we can enjoy and share our love of the natural world. This would be a great book to introduce nature journaling, or before going on a hike. A great book to take camping or hiking. A great book to share with children who love nature. A great book to share with children who don't KNOW they love nature -- yet. . . the nature journaling style of the illustrations and all the plant/animal identification throughout the book are a perfect match to their journey!
