Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - The Go-To Mom Gives "i love dirt" a hip hip Hooray! Sometimes all parents need is a little reminder of how important the outdoors is. This book is a jump start and will spark parents to be mindful of how often they explore the great outdoors with their kids. Another book you may enjoy, which is my all time favorite, Beyond Ecophobia. Kimberley Clayton Blaine, MA, MFT Licensed Child Therapist Author, Mommy Confidence founder, www.TheGoToMom.TV Rating: - You can do better This is a little book with reminders about ways to enjoy nature with your children. Most of the suggestions are common-sense, broad suggestions like watching clouds, smelling the rain, and observing wildlife. There were not specific activities. If your family already enjoys spending time in nature together and would like to learn new things to do or have a "deeper" experience, this book is not for you. If you would like to gain some inspiration for getting you and your family outdoors more often, ... Read More Rating: - Getting back outside "I love Dirt", is filled with wonder and knowledge.

I was lucky enough to borrow this from the library before I decided to not buy it as a gift for a friend who loves to venture into the outdoors with her children. This has to be one of the most simplistic nature books for children that I have ever seen. All of it is common sense and things that most parents would already do with their children unless you have never been outside before and live in front of the TV. I can't believe this got published. Any parent who goes outside with their children could ... Read More Rating: - if by activities you mean conversational pieces... This book does NOT provide activities. It's a list of conversational pieces one could have with their children about nature -- mostly just questions. I gave it 2 stars, since some of the questions were good ones. However, I was expecting actual activities I could do with my kids. I judged this book by the cover... and was disappointed. see more Browse for similar items by category: Health, Mind & Body - Subjects - Books - General Health, Mind & Body - Subjects - Books - General AAS Ecology - Outdoors & Nature - Subjects - Books - General AAS Parenting & Families - Subjects - Books - Family Activities Parenting - Parenting & Families - Subjects - Books - General
