Welcome back to the 10-Day “Coffee and Books” Read-Aloud Challenge. Today is Day 8 and the prompt is NATURE/SCIENCE.
Let’s get started!
Day 8: Nature/Science

Learn more about science and nature through delicious read-alouds!
If you have followed our site for any length of time, you already know we are a family of nature lovers. We hike daily, in almost every type of weather. If you are on Instagram, you can follow our daily adventures via our stories.

Our family would rather spend time outdoors than indoors. We love nature!
That said, sometimes mother nature is uncooperative. On these days, it can be fun to pull out some science and nature books and games.
