E-raamat: Read Me a Tree, Rhyme Me a Bee: Books and Activities for Nature Storytime

Nature is truly Heather McNeil's passion, and this book proves it! I found myself reading the academic articles she references and placing hold after hold on books I want to try in my storytimes. And she adapts so many cute songs wonderfully to her themes.

The songs, stories, activities, and crafts curated throughout this curriculum engage all types of learners. Read Me a Tree, Rhyme Me a Bee is a teacher's dream! * Lynne Ekstrom, Retired 1st- and 2nd-grade teacher, Bend-LaPine School District, USA * This book is an absolute gem for me, a kindergarten teacher. It's bursting with fun and engaging ways to connect young children with the magic of nature. I love the easy-to-follow format and interactive activities with stories, poems, songs, crafts, and games. It's the perfect recipe for a joyful and enriching learning experience that nurtures a deep respect and appreciation for the environment. * Deanna Chambers, Highland Magnet School at Kenwood, USA * Reading Heather McNeils latest book evoked a deep sense of nostalgia, reminding me of my own formative experiences playing and learning in the outdoors. It reinforced just how important it is to integrate nature into childrens daily lives today. McNeil provides clear, approachable, and informative guidance on how to incorporate all varieties of nature into learning and most importantly, how to make it fun with songs, books, and eco-friendly crafts. * Sally Compton, Executive Director, Think Wild, USA *
