Signs of the Season

This series highlights salient aspects of each season with descriptive text and a pleasant array of photos: colorful leaves, animals in snow, green buds, and bright blue skies… the books are appropriate introductions for the targeted age group. Suggested activities in each volume, such as journaling what time of day it gets dark, logging daily temperatures, collecting treasure-hunt items from nature, and measuring levels of precipitation, encourage observation, inference, experimentation, and practice of key scientific methodology concepts.
