Whether you are shy about getting outdoors or you absolutely love to spend every free minute outside, this activity book is for everyone. All you need is an investigative mind and a few household supplies to turn your backyard into a science lab. Written in an engaging format by a well-known author, Colleen Kessler, the experiments are simple and easy to follow. The wide ranges of activities captivate a child's curiosity and teach the scientific process in a way this is easily understood. Observe ants, have chariot races with beetles, and earthworms and much more as you get up close and personal with these critters. Filled with fun facts with lots of information, there are two or three experiments per critter, so children really have a good understanding of what they are exploring. This would make a great gift for a nature lover or a wonderful book for outdoor summer activities. ~ Gina
