We still haven’t read them all (though we plan to continue) but I would really like to mix it up a bit and thinking Jim Arnosky’s books would be a perfect fit. But there are SO many! How to narrow it down? Please help me out by telling me your top Jim Arnosky book(s). Many thanks, Angie September 16, 2013 at 6:09 pm Katrina in AKParticipantThe Crinkleroot books are a lot of fun. Not so much the 25 animals, trees, series, but once like Crinkleroot’s Guide to the Trees, ….Animal Tracks. Many are out of print, but my library has a bunch.

We also have some of the Crinkleroot Guide’s which are fun. We tried a chapter book, The Pirates of Crocodile Swamp, but put it aside as some of the content was not ok for our younger kids. DD12 finished it and said it was ok, but had the aforementioned content issue and wasn’t on par with the animal picture books. September 17, 2013 at 1:21 pm AngelinaParticipantThank you, Christie! Your comment is one of my top reasons for loving this forum. The info on the chapter book will come in very handy when my kids fall in love with Arnosky’s books and beg for more… I will definitely do my research before I just go to his chapter books. Will stick first to the picture books and will take note of the chapter book title you mentioned. If you have a moment to share a few details on the questionable content, I would be interested to know.

It was just a bit much for my younger three last year. September 17, 2013 at 3:15 pm AngelinaParticipantGreat, I will check it out – thanks again.Viewing 7 posts - 1 through 7 (of 7 total)The topic ‘Your Favourite Jim Arnosky book(s)’ is closed to new replies.
