Melissa B Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I'm looking for some books on botany to flesh out our science studies. I do not need curriculum, lab activities or picture books. I'm looking for suggestions on good readers (fiction or non-fiction) from about 3rd grade-adult to add to our study. I have Keepers of Life and Fabre's Storybook of the Fields. Thanks!

Kfamily Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Both girls read a book on George W. Carver Luther Burbank, Nature's Helper by Lillian J. Bragdon (roughly 3rd grade) We have another one on trees...North American Trees which I really like but I can't find it right now (we just moved :001_smile:). Hope that helps a little Yesterday's Classics has a couple too but it has been hard to find ones interesting and appropriate for older students.

Melissa B Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the suggestions! I can't believe I never thought to check my biographies. :tongue_smilie: I found biographies on G.W. Carver, G. Mendel, C. Linnaeus and a book on Johnny Appleseed. I'm going to look into the Arabella Buckley books from Yesterday's Classics as well. ETA: I found a couple more on my bookshelves: The complete Book of Flower Fairies The Man Who Planted Trees (I love this book - not a biography of J. Appleseed) http://www.amazon.com/Man-Who-Planted-Trees/dp/1933392819/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1271186666&sr=8-2 Edited April 13, 2010 by Melissa B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kfamily Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 The book on trees.. I found it (it has been a day of finding things...I found my French and Latin audio cds too! Yeah!:001_smile:)...is Our American Trees by Ruth H. Dudley (4th/5th) You've given me some good suggestions too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
