If You Spent a Day with Thoreau at Walden Pond

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Wendell Minor. "If you spent a day with Henry David Thoreau..." Using this refrain, Burleigh lucidly describes a typical day with the great naturalist writer; by Thoreau's side is a boy, who stands in for "you." This book educates children about a historical figure while encouraging reflection. Minor's handsome art draws attention to nature's small pleasures. Quotes from Thoreau (with interpretations) are appended.
