Sinopsis
Excerpt from Exploring Nature With Your Child: An Introduction to the Enjoyment and Understanding of Nature
Just as your child is a natural explorer, you are a natural guide. You help him find security and a sense of direction in the broad and bewildering world that men have made; so, too, you can guide him along nature's ways - and give him a happy outlet and satisfaction for his natural curiosity and exuberance.
You can be a fellow explorer, too, enriching your own life as well as your child's. As you look back on your own early years, you may recall the first time you noticed a bud opening into a flower, a bird building its nest, two colonies of ants battling each other. You may remember that such intimate glimpses of nature gave you a real thrill. Now, as a parent, you can find still more pleasure in learning about the ways of animals and the wonders of plants as you share your observing with your child. No need to go on a safari through Central Africa - delightful discoveries await you in your own back yard, in city parks and suburban gardens, along forest trails where you may hike, and by the side of lakes and streams or the ocean where you may vacation.
There is no end to the wealth of experiences nature holds in store for you and your child. In a park you can see squirrels bury ing nuts, providing for lean times in a season of plenty. You may observe a flock of wild ducks landing on a park lake for a stop over in their long flight from summer oto Winter homes. Bees, butterflies, and ants have strange and wonderful ways that you and your child can watch with fascination for hours.
The diversion nature offers you is more exciting than any invented by man, yet it is close at hand and costs you nothing. In many suburbs you may look out of the window in the morning and see a woodchuck nibbling its breakfast in a dewy field, or a rabbit scampering across the lawn, purposefully headed for the vegetable garden. You may watch spiders spinning silken traps, or see an exciting tug-of-war between a robin and an earthworm. In woodlands and meadows, in zoos and museums, there is even more for you to observe. No television, radio, or motion picture producer could invest in his productions the millions of years that nature has spent in preparing these thrilling spectacles for you.

Excerpt from Exploring Nature With Your Child: An Introduction to the Enjoyment and Understanding of Nature
The writing of this book would have been quite impossible without the wholehearted interest of my husband, Melvin Shuttlesworth. His excellent advice and suggestions, as well as practical helps, have been invaluable. I am grateful also to Frederick Drimmer, editor of The Greystone Press, for his guidance and enthusiasm all along the way. My deep appreciation goes also to C. M. Goethe of Sacramento, California, who through a lifetime of nature exploring has caused innumerable parents and children to follow his example, and whose interest in my work over many years has been a constant inspiration.
It is impossible to express adequately my debt to the American Museum of Natural History, where my work gives me the privilege of discussing the various aspects of nature with brilliant scientists who are devoting their lives to the study of some particular field of the natural sciences. Particularly am I indebted to the following members of the Scientific Staff who have read and helpfully criticized chapters of this book: Dr. John T. Zimmer, Curator of Birds; T. Donald Carter, Assistant Curator of Mammals; Francesca R. LaMonte, Associate Curator of Fishes; Bessie Matalas Hecht, Scientific Assistant, Amphibians and Reptiles; John Pallister, Research Associate, Insects and Spiders; Farida A. Wiley, Instructor, Department of Education; Dr. Henry K. Svenson, Curator, Forestry and Botany; Robert R. Coles, Chairman, Astronomy and the Hayden Planetarium. Also my thanks to Dr. George H. Childs for reading the section of seashore life, and to Dr. George G. Goodwin, Associate Curator of Mammals for reading the section on whales.
I am grateful for the kind permission of Dr. Arnold Gesell and of Ginn and Company to include (in Chapter One) an excerpt from The Normal Child and Primary Education, by Arnold and Beatrice Chandler Gesell.
