Praise

“Dave Bauer brings a close relationship with his grandchildren as well as nature exploration to this fun book that any child will relate to, especially those who have turned over a rock to examine the bugs underneath.”

       ~ Judith Frizlen, Director, Rose Garden, Early Childhood Center; author, Words for Parents in Small Doses

 

“What’s Under That Rock, Papa? by Dave Bauer is ALL a children’s storybook should be! It is entertaining as well as educational, providing young children with a great story as well as important information about the world in which they live. The most compelling reason I would read this book to children is that it exudes a passion for learning! As an educator in a teacher preparation program, I will use this book in my college classroom to model the importance of student-centered inquiry learning. I hope this is only the first of ‘The Bauer Family’ children’s books!”

       ~ Nicki M. Calabrese, Ph.D., Coordinator of Early Childhood Education, Canisius College, Buffalo, NY

 

“Sometimes the best thing for young children to do is slow down and take the time to go out in their backyard or local park and start turning over rocks to see what they can find. This book encourages this behavior, and also highlights the importance of having an adult to share in these experiences.”

       ~ Scott Lawson, Early Childhood Programs Specialist, Buffalo Zoo

 

“Dave Bauer reminds us that children are hungry for nature and relationship, and in this beautiful book he gives us both.”

       ~ Mary Carol Dearing, Elementary School Nature Club Advisor

 

“The pleasures of reading and exploring the natural world with curiosity and wonder shine through the pages of Dave Bauer’s book for young readers.” 

       ~ Tim Grant, Editor, Green Teacher
