Review: STOP RIGHT THERE! How well do you know your own backyard?......"GO TOUCH GRASS!" - STOP for a second! Deep breath. World is crazy right now in 2025 (and so it has seemed since first publication of this wonderful handbook). The book is thick, perfectly written for everyone. Even enthusiasts of nature should love this and learn from it. Why is "this" nature book superior? Because it takes you outside gently and reintroduces you to your own backyard, your own wild, your own nature..... This book is black and white. Photos and images are profusely throughout. Some may call it cumbersome. But hey (or should I say "hay" to keep it au natural.), you're only a few feet or meters from the great outdoors, where nature displays all and your playground awaits. The world is your global park. The universe is your oyster, your home, and your ultimate first parent. Just how well do you think you know your own back yard? "GO TOUCH GRASS." This book will guide you and teach you. And it will humble you in its authentic voice.
Review: wonderful source - I have had this book on my wish list for a number of years.This is a thick book chocked full of information.It has lessons on each section.They are short simple questions and easy things to see if your child has learned anything about the topic. The only thing that would make this an over the top book any more than it already is-put color pictures in there. This will be a great source for our family.It can be used for private nature study,family study,home schooling,etc.......If you know a nature buff-this would be THE #1 gift to get for them.The print in my book is good,not cloudy looking at all. I know you can see this book free on line BUT-the on line version IS the cloudy looking one.Not this real one.I think to have this resource in your hands in the yard,the woods,the pond-is worth the $ of the book.I am so glad I bought it.It will be used in this house for years to come-unless a newer version of it with color pics come out!!! (-; GET it-you will be glad you did!!!!
