Publisher's Description of Backyard Science & Discovery Workbook Northeast

There is so much to see and appreciate--even in your backyard or at a nearby park. Teach your children to love and protect the great outdoors.
This workbook by naturalist Susan D. Schenck features more than 20 simple, fun introductions to astronomy, birds, geology, and more.
