註釋Combining the curiosities of nature and the joy of crafts-science and art together-this delightful book and press introduces children to the centuries-old tradition of plant collecting and preservation. With its convenient handle and compact size, the press is specially designed to fit little hands. Heavy-duty top and bottom plates are connected on four corners by over-sized nuts and bolts that make it easy to apply-and maintain-just the right pressure. Sheets of blotting paper and corrugated spacers ensure proper air circulation.

The full-color field guide includes easy-to-follow instructions for operating the press, and tells young readers how to identify, pick, and preserve 28 plants common to North American backyards, parks, fields, and meadows. Kids learn the Wildflower Credo, which plants to avoid, and discover projects and activities that include making pressed-flower pictures, floral stationery, and an herbarium. Suitable for ages 6-12. Selection of the Children's Book-of-the-Month Club and Scholastic Book Services. 117,000 copies in print.
