Martin & Sylvia's Nature School Introduction

Part Two: The Deermice

This collection introduces the Martin & Sylvia: Nature School Series.

In the Nature School Introduction, the idea for a "Nature School" is born. It's summer's end, and Momma, Martin, and Sylvia reflect on all the things they loved about the summer season: hikes, walks along the beach, blueberry picking, climbing trees and collecting bird feathers. Then Momma suggests that they keep the summer outdoor fun alive all year long: “Every Thursday, lets have Nature School!” And so Martin joins the Goose-eye Wilderness School, and Sylvia and her friend Sophia create a Nature home-school.

From wild craft cooking to outdoor games to building projects to tree identification, Nature School is a year of unfolding learning and fun.

In Part Two: On the first day of Nature School, brother and sister wake to a very rainy day. When Martin arrives at Goose-eye Wilderness School, he is surprised to see a bus has come from the city, bringing children who have never before visited the forest.Sylvia, meanwhile, is disappointed that her friend Sophia doesn't like playing in the rain.
