Average Ratings:

The late Anna Botsford Comstock was the founder and first head of the Department of Nature Study at Cornell University and the first woman to be appointed to the Cornell faculty. Written originally for elementary school teachers, this book is as valid and helpful today as it was when it was first written in 1911.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Resource
Comment: We don't use this book all the time but it is a great book to use for a resource. When we look at a bug or a bird and start asking ourselves what it eats, how it lives, what it's nest might look like etc. Then we turn to this book first.



Customer Rating:
Summary: Nature Lovers Bible!
Comment: If you love nature, have children, teach or are involved in Scouting, you should own this book. It is a wonderful treasure and full of interesting diagrams, studies and information. This is a tremendous guidebook that will help familiarize you with plants, insects, trees, mushrooms -- you name it!

Customer Rating:
Summary: Fabulous!
Comment: We found this book and my daughter fell in love with it! She is 8 and enjoys just sitting and reading the information. Whenever she gets inspired by nature, she looks forward to sitting down to research what information the Handbook of Nature Study offers.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Look no further for teaching nature study
Comment: This book is amazing! I was totally surprised with how thick it is. This was written by a woman who was literally showing other teacher's how to approach nature study. This I don't think is meant to be read from cover to cover but instead use a specific subject in the book as you're getting ready to teach it.

Words cannot at all describe how valuable this book is - especially for the homeschooling family.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Changes your thinking.
Comment: This book is just old enough to be a record of how people used to think about going outside and why fresh air/nature experiences were needed in a child's life/education--and yet it is modern enough to still be really useful in the information presented pertaining to birds, plants, weather, and the night sky. I also found the excellent introductory material a challenge to all educators (home, public, and private) to step up and help children relate to the created world better through observing nature all around them. Excellent parent resource!
