Explore Nature Through Reading
By Donna Smith
With see-through images, maps, pictures of ocean creatures and creatively placed text, each page is a new adventure to explore. All ages of children will be intrigued as they learn about the mysteries of the ocean. Younger children will love the pictures and being read the short facts about animals, icebergs, lost treasure and scuba diving. Older children will enjoy reading about ocean legends and using the dictionary of ocean terms in the back of the book. A humpback whale pops out in the middle of the book as a pleasant surprise for both young and old!

Where do grubs live? What does it mean when an animal migrates? Why is a coral reef considered a "cleaning station" for some fish? All these questions, plus many more, are answered in Looking Into Nature's Secrets.
See-through pages add interest, while the subtle pictures will make the child want to learn more. Each page contains short blurbs about several different animals, plants and locations. Children learn what secrets nature tries to keep to itself through easy-to-understand words. For older children, important words are put in bold letters, and explanations are simple and direct. Younger readers will be full of questions, encouraging conversation between parent and child. Together, read and learn about all of nature's little secrets.
