The Sierra Club"s publishing program for children is intended to bring to young people books about the earth, its creatures, and humankind"s role among them. Sierra Club Books for Children offer responsible information about the environment to young readers, with attention to the poetry and magic in nature that so fascinated and inspired John Muir, the poet-philosopher who was the Sierra Club"s founder. Covering a wide range of genres--from naturel history to fiction--these books look at the world with the eyes of the young, exploring and probing the little-known from starting places close to home. If you like this book, ask your bookseller or librarian for others in this unique program.
