Laura,
I'm glad you brought up April Pulley Sayre. She, too, like Lisa Westberg Peters, writes about science and the natural world in a narratives that are lyrical and poetic. One recent example of a book by her that left me dazzled by nature is
"Stars Beneath Your Bed: The Surprising Story of Dust" (Greenwillow/HarperCollins, 2005). My response to this book was "who knew!" It was fascinating.

-------------- Original message from "Corrinne Fisher" : I wish there were more authors similarly inspired to excite themselves as well as children about our natural world. I would also be interested in knowing what other
"gems" have engaged and excited young children about science (I have merely mentioned only
a couple of my own favorites.)
Corrie, Have you seen April Pulley Sayre's books? I'm not a child, but I love them now and would have loved them as a child. Her website is www.aprilsayre.com
