Nature Anatomy
Nature Anatomy is a beautifully illustrated introduction to all things Nature. That is why we are using it as part of our Nature Education class that I’ve designed for my highschooler. Although the book is aimed more at a young crowd, it’s been an interesting read for my highschooler too and she has been working through a workbook from Daily Skill Building that we bought to go with it. It’s a great way to absorb what you’re reading.
Each page sticks to one topic and the illustrations as I’ve said are just beautiful. There are some sample pages below so you can get a feel for the layout and design. This would make a fun book for any nature lover, especially if they aren’t sure what part of nature they love the most yet. It introduces the reader to so many parts.
I intend to get all the book in the series and I can’t wait to see what the next one is.
Buy Nature Anatomy from Amazon.com and help support the blog or Nature’s Workshop Plus.
