My grandchildren (all seven of them) will love having Nana share this book with them. Five of them are homeschooled - actually four, now that Joseph has finished his first year of college. He was homeschooled from the beginning of his schooling. <br /><br />What an absolutely wonderful present...wish you were here for me to give you a great big hug!<br /><br />Diane in North CarolinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804084113930402042.post-77866685715817983982012-06-29T18:47:17.764-04:002012-06-29T18:47:17.764-04:00Thanks for catching that Rachel!

Since that is where most people look when it is stated that the winner will be announced within a post. The lady who won might not think to look at the comments... just a thought. <br />P.S.

We will use this book to explore his Father's world and probably incorporate it into writing, art and science. <br /><br />Thank you for the opportunity to win a copy. <br /><br />Tricia~triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03198132253791901351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804084113930402042.post-26600709849245339242012-06-26T11:01:07.936-04:002012-06-26T11:01:07.936-04:00Hi Suzanne,

I so enjoyed getting a close look at him or her. Hmmmm...I need to look for photos of male and female luna moths.<br /><br />Nature study is a passion of mine. I particularly love all insects and bugs and spend a great deal of time talking to anyone who will tolerate my ramblings about them. Friends bring me dead bugs and I keep each one in its own special box. What fun to find or make a box just to hold these wonderful creatures. I don't allow folks to kill insects or bugs just so I can have them, but it's amazing how quickly people can turn from being disgusted at the sight of a bug whenever they see how fascinating it can be. I always make a point of explaining what kind of bug or insect they've brought and how its protective coloration or long legs, or big pincers, etc. enable it to survive, or some other fact that would endear it to the giver. Every season produces such wonderous creatures if a person will just stop to notice. I've been known to uncover rocks in the winter just to see what little creature has managed to find itself a snug little place to pass the time until spring.<br /><br />I would be ever so grateful if I could be the lucky recepient of the Handbook you're so graciously offering.<br /><br />Love from Diane in North CarolinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804084113930402042.post-13547176891520537502012-06-25T21:16:02.169-04:002012-06-25T21:16:02.169-04:00Suzanne, I already own a copy, but wanted to tell ...Suzanne, I already own a copy, but wanted to tell you that the photographs of the moth are lovely. I've never seen a close-up of the underside. It looks so soft. I have enjoyed perusing and searching for particular topics in the book over the years. Someone will be greatly aided by your gift. <br /><br />SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804084113930402042.post-79870034918939961112012-06-25T15:51:27.128-04:002012-06-25T15:51:27.128-04:00We have both formal "nature study" times...We have both formal "nature study" times when I purposefully pack up a few guide books and our sketch books and drawing supplies and we head out to learn about a particular subject. But more often than not we have informal study when one of the children finds something they think is interesting while playing outside and one of them comes running for a guide book and my camera! We try to take lots of pictures that way if what ever they are looking at decides to make a break for it, we still have a picture to look at for reference while we draw it in our nature notebooks. <br /><br />I have had the Handbook of Nature Study on my homeschool book wish list for two years now... I am very excited about this great giveaway!

When we built our home we made sure to not interrupt the balance here. I garden not only for our enjoyment BUT for the generations of living things that were here LONG BEFORE US! I am unable to keep bird feeders IN THE SUMMER MONTHS while our bears are roaming... <br />Thank you for this giveaway...<br />Have a wonderful week,<br />Hugs,<br />DonnaDonna@Conghaile Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10981329702564659603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804084113930402042.post-88371604613480470772012-06-25T13:20:01.881-04:002012-06-25T13:20:01.881-04:00I incorporated it a lot more this time around beca...I incorporated it a lot more this time around because I finally got my boyfriend into it. Ever since we spent a few weeks last Fall in the Rockys hes been even more fascinated about Nature in general, so he's taking to this quite enthusiastically!<br /><br />Good luck with the giveaway :)<br /><br />floatingpyramids@gmail.comAmanda (floatingpyramids)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04034299824032515253noreply@blogger.com
