Isaacs spotlights recent informational and picture books appropriate for children ages up to 10 that will help parents and caregivers encourage children's wonder and enthusiasm for nature. Themed chapters such as "Backyard and Garden," "From the Earth to the Sky and Beyond," "Plants and Trees," "Animals in Captivity," "Children's Songs and Traditional Tales," and "Books for Babies and Toddlers" identify titles on nature-related subjects that kids love, while also offering supplemental activities that adults and children can do together, such as a backyard bird count and things to look for at an aquarium.
