As a science teacher, I loved this book.

It's always interesting to me to see how sanitized, isolated, and insulated people have become over the last few years. Very few children really have the chance to get out into the dirt, the trees, the ponds, or the world outside of their organized activities. This book speaks to the need for people to get back to flipping over rocks to see who lives underneath them, to walk around a pond and watch the frogs jump, or to poke around in a mud puddle and see what pops up. This is an excellent companion to "Last Child in the Woods". and "Into the Field".

The Go-To Mom Gives "Beyond Ecophobia" 5 Gold Stars

I love LOVE this book. Being outdoors is a simple pleasure. This book hammers the point home- where as I changed my backyard around to meet my children's outdoor needs.Outdoor play enhances child development. Children can label, classify and experiment with the elements of nature. The wonderment simply never ends. I see nature as one of a child's sixth sense.

I've been a supporter of Biophilia (which is the love of the outdoors) for years and I make efforts to provide natural play areas in my own back yard. My older son is a Mud King and my younger child is the mud prince Everyday, all year round, you can find my boys sloshing, digging and creating in their custom mud pit. Ah, the life of a child...

Adventures in nature peaks enthusiasms and joy -- so let kids get down and dirty where they learn, live and play. Watch the video [...]

A Must-Read for all Elementary Teachers

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 17, 2013

Verified Purchase

This book is by environmental educator, David Sobel. He spells out the "tidy" ways that teachers teach environmental education which sometimes develops "ecophobia" or a fear of nature in our students. He discusses the importance of "initiating experiences in nature" for students, age 5-12 years. This book both confirmed my beliefs and changed the way I teach science.

It is a quick read and you won't want to put it down. It is a gift I have given all my teacher friends.

I honestly had no idea what this book was going to be about and it turns out that it will be an inspiration in how I create my own classroom in the future. It also gave the epiphany that thinking outside the box in creating a classroom is possible with little to no funds!

Sobel's work has changed nature education in the very best American zoos. Everyone who cares about kids and nature should read.
