description: These are just a few of the hands-on learning activities covered in the first three books from Storey Kids -- a new imprint committed to the idea that birds, horses, flowers, trees, and all manner of flora and fauna presented in an engaging way are fascinating to middle-grade readers. Each upcoming title will be an exciting, mind-broadening excursion, a discovery of the surrounding world. From sweet-smelling horse stables to skies full of raptors to four seasons of woodland life, our first three books will introduce eight- to twelve-year-olds to natural wonders they might not know exist.Kids love to be outdoors, to spend time wandering down leaf-carpeted paths, turning over rocks, and experiencing the different textures of moss, tree bark, and prickly shrubs. Written by an expert naturalist, WoodsWalk offers guided tours for all four seasons and all regions of North America, highlighting special creatures, conditions, and events every step of the way. Aspiring young naturalists will learn how to see beyond their own noses, read the woods for signs of the presence of animals, interpret sounds, and identify odors. They will also be instructed what Not to touch or taste in the wild. With enough identification information on trees, terrain, plants, and wildlife for a hundred walks in the woods, this book is the complete first primer for the inquisitive young naturalist.
