Discovering Nature's Alphabet

By Krystina Castella

Book Overview

If you stand in just the right place, at just the right time, you are going to see some pretty amazing things. Like the three tall branches leaning against one another, creating the letter A. Or the spines of a cactus forming the letter F. And it looks like that bent, twisting tree trunk makes the bars of the letter K with that straight trunk in the foreground. Discovering Nature's Alphabet is more than an ABC book: it's a hiking game and alphabet hunt. Full of beautiful photos and practiced imagination, these pages take readers outdoors to let them see nature in a new light. The shapes of the alphabet are everywhere if you look hard enough; not just in the branches or vines, but in the cracks between rocks, the spaces between mountain cliffs, and the accidental clumping of a couple bits of seaweed.

exceptional pictures

I recommend strongly this book for all lovers of A, B, C books. A must to have.

Discovering Nature's Alphabet

This book is amazing. I give it at every baby shower I go to, and it is the hit of the shower. It gets passed around and everyone wants to know where to get it. The photography is absolutely stunning and both kids and adults enjoy the book.

Wonderful ABC-Nature Book

This book is amazing. I cannot believe they found all of the letters in nature. I really like the end where they tell you what each picture is and where it was found. Not only are my children learning their letters, but we are now always on the hunt for our own letters to photograph.

Brilliant Photography

This is a very unique alphabet book with brilliant photography. What a wonderful way to introduce my baby cousin to the alphabet and nature. I would definitely purchase it again as a gift or for my own child.

Beautiful

This husband and wife team have presented a beautiful hardcover book encouraging children to look for the shapes of the alphabet in nature. While it inspires children to take a creative perspective, it is also a stellar example of beautiful and ethical nature photography; None of the many photographs have been staged or retouched in this collection of photographs, mostly taken in the western United States.
