These are so much fun, whether out and about or stuck in the house. The top two we use for field and nature journaling where we do a lot for watercolor painting (another thing inspired by and included in Lamp+Light curriculum!). The “anatomy” books come from a set of four- these two plus Farm and Food- and if you don’t have them, get them TODAY because they are so much fun! We like the edible plant book when we’re camping, we have another that complements it but I can’t find it. 😩 And the “Handbook of Nature Study”…a staple for homeschool! And the older version, the better, because…old books. The look, the quality, the SMELL….who’s with me?!?
