One Year Blogversary Event: Waterford Press Pocket Naturalist Guides Review and Giveaway! - CLOSED!

I have a couple of little nature lovers! They love to be outside and explore in our back yard! They ask me all sorts of questions that I sometimes don't have the answers to. Well Waterford Press is helping my children and I understand more things in nature with the three Pocket Naturalist Guides that I received to review: Animal Tracks, The Night Sky, and Bugs & Slugs.

Animal Tracks is a wonderful guide to many of the animal tracks you will find in North America. My kids and I recently went on a walk in the forest and found some deer tracks. With this Pocket Naturalist Guide we could measure them (The last page has a ruler) and make sure that what we found was actually a deer track. We concluded that what we had actually found was the track of a White-tailed Deer! This is a really great guide for animal and nature lovers alike! My family and I loved comparing the Animal Tracks Pocket Naturalist Guide to the actual animal signs that we found.

Bella and Sam have always been facinated with the stars! We all love to sit on our porch on warm nights and look up at the stars! Bella has been learning about planets and constellations in school and I thought The Night Sky Pocket Naturalist Guide would be perfect for her and I was right! The coolest thing about this guide is that the star charts glow in the dark! How perfect! Now we can look up at the stars and find the constellations on our glow-in-the-dark guide! This guide contains two different star charts: one for the night sky in the summer and one for the night sky in the winter.

Finally I received the Pocket Naturalist Guide: Bugs & Slugs. Sam just loves to pick up bugs! Bella on the other hand is a bit squeamish (as am I). We all love butterflies though! This guide highlights over 140 familiar species of insects, spiders and invertebrates. Now that we have this guide, the kids have been looking around our back yard for different bugs to see if any match the insects on their Pocket Naturalist Guide! It is so fun to see them learn about different bugs, animals and even the constellations! These Pocket Naturalist Guides from Waterford Press are a wonderful resource for adults and children! I would highly recommend them!!!
