It's Earth Day weekend and the weather is beautiful. A perfect time to think about nature and spend time enjoying some fresh air. Yesterday, I took a trip to the library with all three kids. Alice requested books about "how seeds grow, and plants and trees." Clara requested, "books about snails so we can learn more about how they grow and what they eat." We succeeded in our quest, and enjoyed the following titles yesterday evening at bedtime:
Books about seeds and trees:
-
A Seed is Sleepy by Dianna Hutts Aston
-
What Kind of Seeds are These? by Heidi Bee Roemer
-
The Little Plant Doctor: A Story About George Washington Carver by Jean Marzollo
-
Who Will Plant a Tree? by Jerry Pallotta
-
Be a Friend to Trees by Patricia Lauber
Books about snails:
-
Are You a Snail? by Judy Allen and Tudor Humphries
-
The Biggest House in the World by Leo Leonini
-
Snail: Fun Snail Facts and Photos by Alma Ray
Then today, the kids put their new knowledge to use and spent the afternoon observing snails and seeds, and generally enjoying being outside and celebrating the creatures and plants around us!
