I’ve read this now three times with each Form 1 child 😆 I love these little stories!

We used this series for homeschooling and I could not have been more pleased. Wholesome and gentle, yet very informative, they kept the rapt attention of my little readers. They were a frequent distracton for me as well - Oh the things I learned about stag beetles!

Here's a random quote:

...And now, here is another odd thing to tell you. You know that when the barnacle is young it swims about. When it is grown up, it settles down to stay in one place. The jellyfish is just the opposite. When it is young, it stays in one place and grows fast; but when it has grown up, it swims about wherever it chooses. I wonder which is the better way? Which way would you like best?

Some of the jellyfish come from an egg. Others come from what is called a "bud". Let us look at both of them. The egg at once fastens to some solid thing on the bottom of the sea. It grows into what looks like a plant with stems and branches. On these branches are little cup-shaped buds. These buds are many little jellyfish growing on one stem. This is the larva stage. After a time, these buds open and a young jellyfish breaks from the slender stem. At once it goes swimming away, as happy as a jellyfish knows how to be...

Reading, Science, and Philosophy all at once. Each chapter ends with a set of questions. They're not easy either.

We have loved this book for teaching nature study in 1st-2nd grade. As Muslims, the mention of God creating such creatures is welcome. We did skip the last 20ish pages where it got more into doctrine. The first 130 pages were all doctrine unspecific to such a degree basically any religion could use it.

Sweet, gentle nature intro. We love these books in our homeschool.

We enjoyed the bits of information about Nature but didn’t care for the indoctrination. It was confusing that they used God and Jesus interchangeably. We are also not of the belief that man has dominion over Nature. We gained our ideas/inventions from Nature.

These are fantastic!!!! My struggling reader/animal lover eats these up. And we all learn so much.

We have been reading these books together in our homeschool. They are a wonderful, gentle introduction to nature for young kids.

Absolutely loved this series as a kid! I learned so much about various animals and how they all glorified the Creator.

We read a few pages of this each day for a homeschool project. The animal facts were interesting and informative! It didn’t always keep my 8 yr old’s attention, but it was a good read anyway.

To be honest this was pretty boring but it had a lot of useful information

Reading aloud for school. Enjoy these old books that are slower and help foster attention to detail. We all learned some things.

3.5 stars. good animal narratives. good references to God's creative genius without being too heavy handed. the organization of the book was a bit scattered.
