"In this era of hype about hands-on activities, the school yard is too often given short shrift, except for occasional nature walks. . . . The book, a product of a team effort, underwent extensive tryout and review by teachers and specialists, and it shows."-Science Books & Films, August/September 1998
"Overall this is a very thorough presentation of five excellent ecological activities for children. This is the way science should be taught. The investigations encourage children to learn by "doing" and to discover for themselves how organisms interact with each other and their environment. The activities are also invaluable because they foster in children an appreciation and stewardship for other living things. If they can be taught to value spiders and ants, the rest will be easy."-The American Biology Teacher, May 1999
