Outside: Discovering Animals by Ines Teixeira Do Rosario, Maria Ana Peixe Dias
4.0
The best way to get a kid intereted in science is to make it something they want to know about. Something as simple as finding out about the world in their garden or a park. When they find a feather, finding out where that feature came from.
It goes from being just stuff on the ground, to traces of things left behind. This book talks about poop, of course, scat, that animals leave behind, that tell so much about them. Owls leave balls of the parts of the animals they can't digest. You also learn about not only "foot" prints, but snake prints, that tell you how they slithered.
Ah, but what if you live in the city. There aren't so many animals there. The book covers that as well.
The only issue I have with this book is that it is East of the Rockies specific, when it talks about being able to see fireflies anywhere. A little rewriting could have saved that mention.
