Description

Karen Andreola, renowned interpreter of the Charlotte Mason method of education, has written a unique sort of book: a teacher's guide to nature study, cleverly disguised as a heartwarming story written in the form of a mother's diary.

Woven into the story are:
* More than 100 examples of what to look for on a naturewalk
* Latin names for the living things observed by the characters
* Study questions
* Nature poems and verses

Other features include:
* A supplement containing selected quotations by Miss Charlotte Mason
* An annotated list of books with a nature theme - both fiction and non-fiction

Yet Pocketful of Pinecones remains, a story about Carol: a lady who is on her feet a lot, industriously caring for her family. In her diary, Carol pours out her secret worries, hopes, joys, and disappointments. She also writes of the naturewalks she enjoys with her children. Her goal is to safeguard their sense of wonder.

Together they observe God's marvelous creation and the children record their finds in their Nature Notebooks. Carol reads Home Education by Miss Charlotte Mason and attempts to put the advice into practice. Designed to be a "pick-me-up", each chapter is short enough to minister to a mother who has only snatches of time in which to nourish her soul.
