Explore Nature Through Reading
By Donna Smith
Whether you live in the country surrounded by pine trees and lakes or in the inner city surrounded by cement and buildings, these books are wonderful resources to help your child appreciate and learn about nature.

Children love learning about animals. Where do they live? What do they eat? And where do they sleep? Sleepy Eyes will answer all those questions, plus show your child how they sleep. This clever book gives each animal a set of eyes that actually close when the book is leaned back.
Rabbits, beavers, squirrels, bears and owls come alive through snappy rhyming verse and playful drawings showing each animal in its own habitat. To accommodate the eyes, the book is chunky, so little hands will not have any trouble holding or toting it around the house.
Sleepy Eyes is sure to become a favorite for bedtime reading. As your child watches each animal go "night, night," their eyes may just become "sleepy eyes" as well.

What lies beneath the ocean? What animals call the ocean their home? Are all oceans the same? All of these questions and more are answered in Oceans, part of the On the Spot series from Reader's Digest Children's Books.
