Do it Yourself Bushcraft: A Book of the Big Outdoors 2017
by Daniel Beard 

https://www.ballastbookco.com/item/rbcxk2VtzKXHWlprtskMxA
Boy Scouts co-founder and avid outdoorsman Uncle Dan Beard provides a clear, enthusiastic introduction to the joys of camping, trapping, and outdoor survival. Originally published nearly a century ago, this engagingly written and charmingly illustrated guide provides an atmospheric reminder of a simpler time. Filled with timeless wisdom on conversing with nature, the book also constitutes a source of practical tips, offering advice on fishing, canoeing, and other aspects of outdoor life. Fishing-related instruction includes information on how to catch minnows, how to make a dip net, fly fishing, bait casting, and much more. Readers can learn how to stalk, to photograph, and even to capture wild animals with their bare hands. They'll also discover how to build a canvas canoe and a dugout canoe, how to make a portage, how to handle a canoe, how to row a boat, and the names of all the parts of boats. This ageless volume will prove a helpful companion to hunters, fishermen, campers, backpackers, Scouts, and anyone who enjoys outdoor recreation and the thrill of bushcraft.


Pass the Energy, Please! 2000 ages 6-12 
by Barbara Shaw McKinney, illustrated by Chad Wallace 
https://www.ballastbookco.com/item/N6fE0itq31hEUV-mBUFDSA
Each of nature's creatures "passes the energy" in its own unique way. In this upbeat rhyming story, the food chain connects herbivores, carnivores, insects and plants together in a fascinating circle of players. All beings on Earth from the anchovy to the zooplankton depend upon the green plant, which is the hero of the story. Barbara McKinney's special talent shines again (see also A Drop Around the World) for being able to present the science curriculum so concisely, creatively, and cleverly.

It's a wildly informative adventure that little ones will enjoy time and time again!
