Hi there. I have been on break especially from NFM. Today I am thrilled to be hosting. I will be back in the morning with a great book that features poetry and nonfiction.
Do you want to interest a young reader in nature and poetry? Look no further than Outside Your Window, A First Book of Nature by children’s author and biologist, Nicola Davies. The illustrations by Mark Herald complement the content with simple but colorful design.
I really like how Davies has divided the book into seasons beginning with spring. You can tell that each poem and activity has been clearly researched before crafting the poems.
