Learn from their adventures as they question a butterfly, narrate to a spider, go underground with a cicada, anger a wasp, attend a katydid concert, hear a candle fly's court case, go airborne with some fireflies, sail with a raft-spider, and more. A classic living science book used by Charlotte Mason.
