Hunting

Step outside and explore! Edith Patch and Harrison Howe's Hunting gently invites young readers to observe the natural world through the eyes of two curious children, Ted and Ann. From backyard holes and school gardens to city parks and zoos, their adventures uncover the quiet wonders of ants, birds, squirrels, toads, and even bumblebees and raccoons. Told through warm, simple narratives, each chapter encourages attentiveness, patience, and respect for all living things. Ted and Ann learn by watching, listening, and asking questions-demonstrating how even ordinary places can be full of surprises for those who know how to look. With its gentle pacing, charming illustrations, and subtle lessons in observation and care, Hunting turns everyday nature into a delightful journey of discovery. Perfect for young naturalists, families, and educators seeking to nurture a love of the outdoors, this timeless classic celebrates the joy of learning through quiet exploration.
