Chloe’s Nature Journal
Creston Books
When her teacher assigns the class to start a nature journal, noting the animals they find in their yards, Chloe wishes she’ll discover the most.
But once she’s in her yard with her journal and markers, she can’t find any animals to sketch. Will she end up finding the fewest, not the most? With a bit of patience and lots of close looking, Chloe realizes all kinds of creatures make a home in her yard. Chloe asks a lot of questions about what she sees, noting her discoveries, finding some answers, and learning some new skills from the creatures she observes. Without realizing it, Chloe is following the scientific method. And so a young scientist is made!
Chloe’s Nature Journal will surely inspire young readers to start their own nature journals and discover the small eco-systems at their doorstep.
