Your children will delight in learning not only about the various animals and plants in creation, but also about God's glory. Birds, Bugs and more all pay tribute to God as their creator!
When I purchase books for our home school, they don't always end up to be books that have glossy, full-color pictures. Sometimes they are the more humble-looking ones. But very often, humble though they may appear, they possess a writing style capable of drawing my younger students into reading their assignments with satisfaction and enjoyment. Nature Readers are just this sort of book.
For example, in Nature Reader, Book 3 (average third grade reading level), a fisherman tells stories about Old King Crab, Mr. Barnacle and his son, and the flowers of the sea, which are all really animals. At the end of one chapter, describing the business of ants, the author writes, "This seems like a fairy tale, but it is quite true. All these things can be seen if you look out for them." Some questions in these readers give the student the opportunity for little tellings (narration). These are the type of prompts: Describe a barnacle fishing party. What can you tell me about giant beetles? Why is it so hard to pull a worm out of its hole? How do ants treat each other while they are at work?
Nature Reader, Book 4 has more creatures. The author shares surprising observations of baby hummingbird activity. Nature Reader, Book 5 describes the basic parts of the human body, as well as useful and varied parts of the bodies of animals.
