Jim Arnosky is a master naturalist who has devoted his life to sharing his knowledge, joy, delight and fierce protectiveness of the natural world with children. His entire oeuvre is steeped in a deep love of the natural world and a laid back humility in sharing that love, curiosity, wonder and joy with children. Some of the titles that I love are Rabbits and Raindrops for very young children, Every Autumn Comes the Bear, Crinkleroot’s Guide to Walking in WIld Places, All Night Near the Water, and Crinkleroot’s Twenty-Five Mammals Every Child Should Know. Here I share Crinkleroot’s Guide to the Trees! Enjoy

He even has a new book with CD where he illustrates Bob Dylan’s Man Gave Names to All the Animals!
