Armed with a magnifying glass and an innate sense of curiosity, any child can be a nature detective! PBS Kids Look and Learn Nature Detective is packed with pictures and simple information to encourage kids to go outside and explore—to look at leaves, nuts, seeds, bark, pine cones, mushrooms, animal tracks, and more. The kit encourages children not only to notice interesting items around them, but to inspect them up close—to touch and feel for texture and to compare and contrast their shapes, colors, and sizes. The book also encourages children to notice the amazing sounds, smells, and sights on any nature walk.

Each kit includes a 64-page educational guide book, a spotting poster, and a scavenger hunt list for children who want to go outside and discover for themselves. Each kit also includes an additional tool, such as a magnifying glass, magnifying insect jar, or binoculars.
