Outside, You Notice (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781772782783)

Outside, you notice things.Time spent in the outdoors stirs a child's imagination.
Nature sparks wonder, wonder leads to curiosity, and curiosity brings about a
greater knowledge of the world and one's self. In Outside, You Notice, a
meditative thread of child-like observations (How after the rain /
Everything smells greener) is paired with facts about the habits and
habitats of animals, insects, birds, and plants (A tree's roots reach as
wide as its branches).Author Erin Alladin invites young scientists and daydreamers
to look closely and think deeply in this lyrical nonfiction text, celebrating
all the kinds of "outside" that are available to children, from backyards to
city parks to cracks in the sidewalk. Illustrator Andrea Blinick portrays these
spaces bursting with small wonders with a child's-eye view, her naïve and
nostalgic style capturing the joy of endless discovery.

★ "The detailed text and varied
images immerse readers in the feeling of being outside, fully attentive and
relaxed....The illustrations use soft coloring, varied perspectives, and active
characters to great effect, pulling observers into the worlds of plants,
animals, and the people who love them. This lovely book is more than the sum of
its parts."--Kirkus ★ Starred Review
