Tom Brown's Field Guide to Nature and Survival for Children
1989, ISBN 0-425-11106-7

An indispensable guide to helping children appreciate our Natural world.

From the Introduction:  "As I look at society, schools, and the children of today, I see an extreme need.  Most of what is taught to our children is lopsided, feeding only the logical mind, while doing nothing for children's awareness, creativity, relationship to nature and life, or for cultivating spiritual needs....This book does not instruct about all these areas -- only the closeness to and oneness with the earth."
