Woods

One Small Square

by Donald M. Silver, Patricia Wynne

The woods are full of puzzles to be solved, clues to be found. Inspired by this book's hints and fun-filled experiments and activities, and using only simple equipment, young readers unlock the closely guarded secrets of the woods­­from the strange meetings of lazy butterflies, to the miraculous "walking" of a twig, to the riddle of why the leaves turn color and fall. One small square at a time, these "detectives" plunge deeper and deeper into ancient mysteries­­without ever getting lost. Beautifully illustrated, Woods offers a picture field guide, a glossary-index, and a resource list.

Technically not done with this one yet but that's because we're taking a short break from curriculum. I am really enjoying the One Small Square series - you don't actually have to have a "woods" near by because the illustrations are so complete and beautiful. There are just enough facts that it's not overwhelming but if something seems extra interesting to the child you can use other resources to continue exploring.

My 6 year old son really liked this book and there was some good information, but for me, it isn't one that I would read again, I would then look for more/different information. I checked this book out from the library to see if I would like to later purchase it for our nature study library, and after reading it I decided that I will pass. If my son wants it again, we know where to find it.

Another great book with informational, detailed pictures about the woods. Talks about all different aspects of the woods, from plants, animals, insects, and the plentiful trees. Each picture is described and named for students to differentiate. Great informational book.

I liked this book because it tells me a lot about what I didn't know about what you can find in one small squar of the woods
