Picture Book Neighborhoods: Nature - Fun


 This is my newest section. I had been putting the camping books into Sports and felt they were a better fit for Nature. I also have a lot of interest in fishing and outdoor activities in my area and I frequently get requests from teachers for books on camping and hiking, so I wanted them in an easy place to find. My initial plan was for the Dewey number to mark nonfiction, realistic or instructional books and the fiction portion would be more purely fictional titles, but they've gotten a bit mixed.

799 - Realistic, informational, and instructional books about outdoor activities

  • Red canoe shows up at two by Victoria Allenby
  • Forest School (series) by Ruth Symons, illustrated by Sebastien Braun
  • Fly rod was first: Cornelia Crosby's adventures in angling
  • Far, Far away by Molly Beth Griffin
  • One frozen lake by Deborah Jo Larson
  • My first day fishing: a beginner's guide by Will Millard
  • Fly fishing with Papa by Christopher Robbins
  • Dawn patrol by Rob Sayegh
  • Down by the river: a family fly fishing story by Andrew Weiner

Fiction about outdoor experiences, including nature observation and appreciation
