Maisy Goes on a Nature Walk


Book Description

“Captivating to little eyes. . . . Maisy’s next adventure introduces early STEM concepts in an entertaining package.” —School Library Journal Hooray! Maisy is packed up and ready to go on a nature walk. After meeting at the park entrance, she and her pals are surprised to see how many plants and animals live at the pond, from lily pads to ducks to ladybugs, tadpoles to fish to dragonflies. When they head into the woods, they find the animals shy—is that a deer, or maybe a fox? Looking closely at leaves and under logs helps in spotting smaller creatures like ants and earthworms. And when birds call high in the trees, Maisy uses binoculars to get a better look. Whether little ones on their first nature adventure or seasoned hikers, readers will be happy to share their experience with their favorite mouse and her pals.
