The Berenstain Bears' Nature Guide

The Berenstain Bears' Nature Guide by Stan and Jan Berenstain is a wonderful book. The cover of the book says "Everything small bears and kids need to know about the wonderful world of Nature." This is exactly what this book has to offer! It goes over ideas senses, how to identify is something is an animal, animal reproduction, birds, the life cycle of a frog, different kinds of plants, and caves! I would use this book in my class to introduce biology lessons to my class as an introduction. I would use certain sections here and there when they went with my lesson.

  1. Bridget I loved this book! I am just sad that I didn't know about it earlier. This book is filled with so many interesting things that it is hard to decide what to pick, I would just pick everything : ) I think this book would work very well for Science class. One way that I would use this in class is that maybe after we would come back from a field trip like to the Bosque or something I would pull this book out and talk about what we saw and how it relates to the book.

  2. Awwwww(: I LOVE the Bernstein Bears!!!!!!
    I didn't realize they made a science book, but this would be great to use. I know that not everyone (including myself) really likes science and sometimes I really don't understand it, but these types of books that give me information but are fun are just what I need.
    This would be a great book to help kids with biology and science in general, and if you wanted to tie this into english you could even have them pick a part of science they like and do a picture book like this for that topic so they can present it to the class in a fun way.

  3. I remember reading this book when I was younger. I'm glad you were able to find a book for a younger one that is for more than just entertainment. Science is a fantastic thing to learn about and I'm glad you picked this book. I feel this book would be great for an activity of going on an actual nature hike and going through nature to find different aspects of science. Great choice.
