Books to Grow Your Child’s Nature Knowledge

 

Nature is a constant source of wonder for children, providing hours of exploration. Encourage your child’s natural curiosity of nature.

Botanists and librarians at the Elisabeth C. Miller Library at the University of Washington Botanic Gardens have put together a 67-page list of books, Web sites and parent/teacher resources to spark children's learning of gardening and the great outdoors. Download the whole list for free at http://depts.washington.edu/hortlib/resources/resources.shtml. Share it with a teacher.

Any Washington state resident may borrow a book on the list at the Miller Library, 3501 N.E. 41st St., Seattle.
