Wild Neighbors
eBook
( Nov. 23, 2011)
A colorful collection of wildlife photos, captured via trail camera, taken in the Appalachian Mountains. Short descriptions and educational text make this 30 page children's book ideal for young nature enthusiasts. This book can also be used to guide homeschooling projects and inspire young children to write their own books.
Each animal in this collection is worthy of study by themselves, yet seeing them as a neighborhood of friends helps instill valuable concepts such as eco-system and habitat.
Easy to read and understand, a three year old will enjoy the photos and learn names of seldom seen night creatures.
In addition, the variety of topics touched upon will inspire grade school children to look for tracks on their next hike into the forest.
As a homeschooling tool, Wild Neighbors provides simple lessons in earth science, language and arithmetic.
