Crinkleroot's Guide to Knowing the Trees

One of my goals is for my kids to love nature.  This is the first of the Crinkleroot series I have stumbled across.  Crinkleroot is a Santa-like nature guide explaining roles of trees in nature. My favorite pages show about 20 varieties of leaves (deciduous) and their seeds. I've been wondering what that those fuzzy things all over the ground are: sycamore  seeds! It will be good to have the pictures to match up to leaves we find in the woods this year. Another page shows varieties of coniferous needles and their cones. I was so excited to order the Handbook of Nature Study, but the pics are old and not at all interesting to the kids. The drawings in this book are adorable.
