Reprinted from the Japanese, this trilogy of earth's relationship with nature is a valuable resource for teachers and parents. The team of Lewis and Canyon has produced a valuable set of books to awaken children's curiosity about their environment. J. Patrick Lewis has a touch of the poet in his pen when he writes, "Admire the beauty, the stillness, the solitude." Adults will enjoy this set as much as young readers do. Pastel illustrations by Christopher Canyon bring Lewis's facts to life in this energizing view of the earth. Highly recommended.
