What is Being Lost as fewer kids spend their free time outdoors? A Natural Sense of Wonder is about one father's attempt to seek alternatives to the "flickering waves of TV and the electrifying boing of video games." In the spirit of Rachel Carson's The Sense of Wonder, Rick Van Noy journeys out of his suburban home with his children and describes the pleasures of walking in a creek, digging for salamanders, and learning to appreciate vultures. Through these and other "walks to school," the Van Noys discover what nature has to teach and why this matters.
