children to love and protect the great outdoors. This workbook by
botanist George Oxford Miller features more than 20 simple, fun
introductions to astronomy, birds, geology, and more. Plus, over a

with an ultraviolet light-put students in control of their own
learning! You never know what your children will uncover in their
outdoor classroom. Every day is a little treasure hunt. If they
