My 7-year-old is often reluctant to do her silent reading. These nature readers have sparked her interest so much- she can't wait to read and tell us about what she is learned. What a wonderful way for a young child to get reading practice, while also learning science! These books helped me to discover that she prefers non-fiction reading to fiction. Tremendous value!!!
I liked the format of the book, but was disappointed that in earlier editions of the book the information was not always correct (example: spiders are called insects, but they are not). This makes me question what incorrect information may be contained in the current editions in those areas that I have limited knowledge. Although I liked the book, I now question the accuracy of the information.
