Parables From Nature

I cannot say enough about this book! What a treasure! its wonderful prose style and encourageing morals are a joy to share with my children. It is a refreshing read and something I'm sure to continue using with my children for a long time to come! It has added a new demension to our devotion and literare time.

A challenging gem...

First let me clarify that I am commenting on the story, not the edition. For what it's worth, I have the edition by Yesterday's Classics and it is nicely done.

These stories are challenging, rich and complex, as they seek to uncover God's craftsmanship in the natural world, how the seen teaches us about the unseen ("the creation declares the glory of God....") The writing and vocabulary are quite sophisticated. We homeschool and I would recommend the book as a read aloud, no earlier than the third grade all the way through adulthood. I am enjoying reading it with my daughter as a jumping off point to discuss the nature of God. I find the book challenging and enjoyable as an adult. It's a great book to glean ideas from and stretch their intellect, imagination and understanding.

Ambleside curriculum has it slated too early in my opinion....my child is bright, but in first or second grade this would have gone right over her head.

Great!!!

An exceptionally great book. What a blessing it has been to use it in my teaching of nature to my children and Sunday School class.

Beautiful stories with a beautiful message.

These stories illustrate wonderful lessons for young readers, something sorely missing in much of children's literature today. I enjoy them as much if not more than my children.
