I bought this book for my son for his birthday. He already loves picking up stick during our nature walks but this book brought it to a new lever for him. He likes reading it at night and loves all the pictures and project ideas. The pictures have definitely helped him examine his environment more thoroughly and use his imagination more. He now enjoys collecting sticks for projects and loves comparing them and matching them to ones in the book. It’s really been well worth it! We have all enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend it!!
