"A Very Busy Day In The Garden" is the first in the series written to inspire children to use their powers of observation for what is going on in their environment. It has appeal from an educator's point of view in the school market for the following reasons: 1) the text is written in rhyme to build vocabulary skills; 2) it is nonfiction and can be used in the area of early science; 3) the clocks in the book can be used for early math skills for telling time (each clock page is one hour later starting at 5am and ending at 8pm); 4) it helps to inspire children's awareness by using their powers of observation and thereby stimulate them to want to see what is going on in their own back yard and in the world of nature instead of playing video games or being glued to the television the moment they come home from school. There may be many nonfiction books on the market about wildlife and nature, but very few are illustrated with actual photos, written in rhyme form, adventure driven with the intent to build vocabulary, math skills and soft science.

Reality trumps fantasy,
By edk365 (Saratoga Springs, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Very Busy Day In The Garden (Paperback)
The best kids' books relate to their familiar world. This is one of those books. The photos are full of interest, picturing animals, birds and insects to name and discuss with your child. The clock faces and the changing light in the photos relate each reading of the book to a child's daily experience of morning, daytime and nightfall. This is a book that will reward each reading with new discoveries--and will encourage kids' interest in making similar discoveries in the real yard or park.

A very busy day in the garden,
By Casey (NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Very Busy Day In The Garden (Paperback)
A very busy day in the garden by Lori Kolb-Speer is a wonderful children's book. It is an adventure into the world of nature. The photos are great and the game of looking for the ladybug is fun. It teaches children to look at the world around them that is right in their own backyard and to see the different forms of life that exists. The wording and rhyme is easy to read. I would recommend this book for any child and parent to share.
