Description

You never know what you will find until you start observing!

Join Emmi and friends on their backyard expedition where they use their senses to observe the creatures in their natural environment. Science and Nature meet in this outdoor adventure for ages 3 to 6, where kids use a log book to capture what they find and learn to craft play paper binoculars for their own expeditions!

This engaging book teaches about using your senses to explore your world.

“Children are natural explorers and will be captivated by and relate to Emmi and her friends as they are exposed to scientific terminology and concepts through multiple and diverse points of view. As a Montessori teacher, I love how Great Explorers invites the possibility to expand the teaching moment into an interactive experience as the child observes nature and discovers their own place within it.”

5.0 out of 5 stars from reading to action

I downloaded this book for my grandchildren. I live on a farm and found this book to be a wonderful way to engage my grandchildren in exploring the wonders on Nona’s farm. It moves them from reading to action. I really loved the sample log and binocular craft. I also appreciated the simple definitions of scientific words. Thank you, Kara, for such an engaging book. - Amazon Review by Amazon Customer

I liked the story flowed and included lots of facts.

And how it shows children to observe nature. The illustrations were cheerful and a good visual representation of the story. - Amazon Review by sewingmommy


5.0 out of 5 stars A fun and engaging book for children

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2023

I enjoyed this book, and perhaps more importantly, my 4 year old granddaughter did as well!

I like the logical progression of ideas, and she liked the pictures and, being so interested in learning to write, she wanted us to make an observation log book for her to 'write' in!

Hope to see more along this line. - Amazon Review by Susanna D. Reed


5.0 out of 5 stars Great gift for learning!

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2022

This is a fun story to encourage kids to get outside, play, learn, and grow. Great for young readers and early science-lovers; teaches observational and exploratory skills in an age-appropriate manner. Includes activities. Wonderful resource for pre-schools, libraires, and home schooling environments! - Amazon Review by Lacera Fam
