5.0 out of 5 stars Top-notch material, great photography, engaging content, June 13, 2007
This review is from: A Handful of Dirt (Hardcover)
As an ex-scientist I was very impressed with this book. It has excellent content with respect to the importance of soil, what is in it and why it is important to the environment, life and planet. This information is presented in an age appropriate manner and the photographs are fantastic. Although this product is expensive for a 32 page book. It is hardcover, printed on high quality paper and has large and useful photographs that will spark the imagination of a youngster. This is exactly the kind of book I would have loved as a young man and I find that the kids I share it with seem to find it extremely interesting. I'm so happy that there are people putting out fine books like these for our kids. Among stimulating an appreciation and inquisitive attitude toward nature, it promotes an appreciation for protecting the environment and lays the groundwork for understanding ecology from the ground up... no pun intended!
