Children will be enthralled with the intimate look into the lives of the woodland creatures and their way of life. Subtleness in making a moral point is always a strength in Ms. Gatty’s stories.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I cannot say enough about Parables from Nature by Margaret Scott Gatty. What a treasure! Mrs. Gatty wrote with a wonderful prose style, and included many encouraging morals which are a joy to share with children. The stories , which seek to uncover God’s craftsmanship in the natural world, are challenging, rich and complex. The writing and vocabulary are quite sophisticated, making it best for children in third grade or higher. I find the book challenging and enjoyable as an adult. It's a great book to glean ideas from and stretch their intellect, imagination and understanding. It is a refreshing read and a book I’ll read more than one time, for sure. I would say be careful which edition you purchase. The book which I am reviewing was laid out very nicely (see the picture attached), but there are apparently some shoddy replicated versions out there.
