""The texture of the pages and their soft eggshell color make this book feel like a true artist's delight. The guidance and exercises strike the perfect balance of encouragement and instruction, allowing explorers to observe, discover, and appreciate the natural world starting from where they are... A lovely and useful beginning."" -- Vicky Smith, Kirkus Reviews Very highly recommended, The Nature Explorer's Sketchbook is the perfect art-themed resource for home schoolers, environmental education programs, STEAM programs, or simply as a gift to budding young artists and neophyte nature lovers."" -- Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review
