What's In Your Pocket? Collecting Nature's Treasures

Charles Darwin, George Washington Carver, and Jane Goodall were once curious kids with pockets full of treasures--now in paperback!

When you find something strange and wonderful, do you put it in your pocket? Meet nine scientists who, as kids, explored the great outdoors and collected "treasures": seedpods, fossils, worms, and more. Observing, sorting, and classifying their finds taught these kids scientific skills--and sometimes led to groundbreaking discoveries. Author Heather Montgomery has all the science flair of a new Bill Nye. Book includes the Heather's tips for responsible collecting.
