Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4-- Crinkleroot, the jolly character who first appeared in I Was Born in a Tree and Raised by Bees (Bradbury, 1988), returns to guide readers safely through the "wild" outdoors. Using a common-sense approach to enjoying nature, Arnosky sends Crinkleroot along woodland trails to experience nature's wonders just as one might come upon them: a sparrow in her nest, a feather to be found, animal paths to discover. While obviously enjoying these wonders, Crinkleroot reminds readers of proper dress in the woods, gives tips on avoiding ticks and bee stings, encourages checking brooks to be sure they are free of litter, and instructs young naturalists in recognizing poisonous plants. A page of more detailed tips is included at the end of the book. Watercolor and black ink give depth of color to the full and double-page illustrations. Specific plants and insects have accompanying captions devoted to making their identification simple. The humorous, reassuring character of Crinkleroot presents the necessary precautions to help children safely enjoy the outdoors to the fullest. A good book to share with young children preparing for nature walks. --Diane Nunn, Richard E. Byrd Elementary School, Glen Rock, NJ

Crinkleroot - take a walk with everyone's wise, warm grandpa,
By
This review is from: Crinkleroot's Guide to Walking in Wild Places (Paperback)
Taking a walk with Crinkleroot is a joy for parents and kids, and is likely to make a child-naturalist of them both (and isn't that the best kind?). Jim Arnosky is simply marvelous at conveying the wonder and tiny mysteries of the out-of-doors, both through his artwork and through his text. He's written many other nature books, and every one's a gem.

We received this book at Christmas time. We bought it as a used book and the previous owner took superb care of it! It has given my daughter and her dad great bonding time. I think it will prepare her for their hikes.
