Charlotte Mason said, “The real use of naturalists’ books is to give the child delightful glimpses into the world of wonders he lives in, reveal the sorts of things to be seen by curious eyes, and fill him with desire to make discoveries for himself.” The Year Round is one such naturalist’s book. C.J. Hylander wrote this volume exploring typical and prominent characteristics of each season; from the lifecycle of frogs and toads and the earliest wildflowers of spring through the verdant profusion of summer into the fall reproduction of plants and preparations of animals for the coming winter to the leafless trees, ample information will inspire and inform the study of nature.

Living Library Press is delighted to bring this excellent book back into print. In its pages, readers will discover not only what it is they see around them but also the why and the how that will cause their curious eyes to probe the outdoor wonders more keenly.

This paperback reprint is beautifully illustrated with clear line drawings. Well-suited for Elementary students to build upon their nature knowledge as an aid to their direct observations. 273 pages, indexed.
