Karen Andreola, best known for A Charlotte Mason Companion, has written a unique sort of book in the homeschool world. Pocketful of Pinecones is a teacher’s guide to nature study cleverly disguised as a heartwarming story, written in the form of a mother’s diary.

Woven into the story are:

  • More than 200 examples of what to look for on a nature walk,
  • Latin names for the living things observed by the characters,
  • Study questions,
  • Nature poems and verses.
