Was not impressed with the games in this book. Some of them seem so far out it left me wondering What? Huh? I'm Sorry Come Again? Maybe someone was smoking a little too much when coming up with these games and they seemed 'fun' at the time. Don't buy it...check it out at a library if you must.

I wanted a book that would help me experience nature with my child. Unfortunately, this book is aimed more for professionals, like teachers and scout leaders. It sort of assumes that you have a basic knowledge of the outdoors (which I don't).

dulu baca buku ini karena terpaksa, soalnya menyangkut urusan dapur ngebul...hihihi. Tapi sekarang berasa banget manfaatnya buat mengenalkan alam buat anakku. Buku yang keren...apalagi kalo trus dipraktekkan sambil jalan-jalan sekeluarga.

I used this as a guide book for my outdoor education Day Camps. All the games are so educational and can be related back to some theme. I also appreciate the forward, where he reminds the teacher to observe and listen.

I can't wait to start doing some of the games they suggested once my kids are at the suggested age range. We already started by introducing and letting him just play / explore in nature. A good book.

Lots of good ideas. I read it for my job as a part-time naturalist. I dog-eared lots of pages that I will use in the future. It's a little hippy, but definitely has good ideas.

Joseph's flow lessons work really well. My co-workers and I have tried most of the activities with kids in 5th and 6th grade with success.

Probably more useful for camp counselors and teachers than parents, but I did feel like I got a few good ideas for games and discussion.

My household rented a little farm near my hometown for part of the Christmas holiday, and when we found some animal tracks we couldn't identify, my Mom dug up some nature books for us. Several were helpful with the tracks (a fox, we think), but this little book captivated me and I read it cover to cover. What a wonderful resource for anyone who is around children and wants to help them experience the world around them more broadly!

My kids are still a little young for many of the activities in this book, but I can see that it is definitely a classic with many great ideas for exploration and creative play.

I realized after a wonderful big Sur Camping trip with my little one, Ella, that it's time to dust off this old classic and re-read it. She's just the right age now to really begin to enjoy the natural world around her - and I've had a recent taste of how fun it is to do this with her.
