The Everything Kids' Nature Book: Create Clouds, Make Waves, Defy Gravity and Much More! (Everything Kids ... 1 review Kathiann M. Kowalski
Adams Media, 2002
Gift to a friend's daughter
I gave my friend's daughter this book for her 10th birthday. She is very out-doorsy and this book seemed perfect for her. As I looked at it prior to giving it to her, I thought some of the things seemed a bit young for her but I think she will still enjoy it.
