We recently enjoyed listening to Gary Paulsen’s books on CD. They are great outdoor adventure books. Right now we’re reading Julie of the Wolves.

I used to just devour George’s books. Another author I really enjoyed was Gary Paulsen (of “Hatchet” fame).

I love this list so much…and Im addicted to nature books too. I have found several field guides lately at the thrift store for less than $1. And we’re looking forward to our first official family camping trip in a few weeks. Woohoo!

Trish, Agreed. We love the "character" of the Narnia series. Re: where we rented that cabin - I'm glad you asked! We've written about our winter camping experience in more detail on our adventure blog, ADVENTUREinPROGRESS and my personal blog, FIMBY.

What a great post – I think the Narnia books are excellent for starting a talk about nature. C.S. Lewis did a great job of making the animals and trees characters in his books! My six year olds are enthralled.

Now, down to brass tacks. I have to know where you rented that cabin? How do I do that for my family?

We love books like this! My son especially loves them, and it has created in him a desire to find things native to our area, and opened his eyes to the world around him.
I love all the new ideas…..!
