The nature girls are a group of little girls whose passion is to explore. The girls, with their safari hats and backpacks take their young readers to the various biomes: sea, desert, tundra, grassland, and forest. Each double  page spread has the girls engaged in something native to that biome: riding a camel in the desert, enjoying a dogsled ride in the tundra, swimming in the ocean with sea creatures found there. The simple, single line of rhyming text leaves the  rest of each double page spread open to bright, whimsical illustrations. This is a young  reader’s first introduction into STEAM. Can be used to introduce the concept of biomes , what a biome is and what can be found in each area. The Nature Girls can be paired with Aki’s The Weather Girls. Hopefully there will be more of the nature girls to take readers on more science adventures.
