Catch a Crayfish, Count the Stars, available for pre-order now, ships in June.
Over a hundred. No, I think it's probably around 80. Under a hundred. Around 80 total activities to get kids engaged with, involved in, educated about the outdoors, educated about hunting and fishing and wildlife, educated about gardening, preparing foods in the home, celestial navigation, making various weapons. Everything you need to raise a smart, engaged kid who I like to point out has kind of a raw edge to them.
So go wherever you buy books. Call your local friendly bookstore. If you have a local bookstore, that'd be a good idea.
