Reach for this book when your child starts asking 'What is that?' during a walk in the woods or when you want to turn a simple weekend hike into a meaningful discovery mission. This vintage Usborne guide serves as a gentle bridge between play and scientific observation, helping children develop a sense of stewardship and wonder for the natural world. It covers everything from identifying tree bark to spotting the hidden tracks of forest animals. While the book is packed with facts, its true heart lies in fostering gratitude for the ecosystem. It is perfectly calibrated for children aged 6 to 9, offering enough detail to satisfy a budding scientist without becoming overwhelming. By focusing on the 'small things' like moss, insects, and seasonal changes, it encourages a slow, mindful approach to nature that can calm a busy child and build their confidence as an independent explorer.
