This is a cute, light nonfiction-ish read for kids. Nancy and her best friend, Bree, have formed an explorer club and investigate insects, spiders, birds and trees, all while trailed by their younger siblings. Young readers get facts, like the differences between insects and spiders, what makes deciduous trees evergreens, and the differences between moths and butterflies.

Nancy also has wonderful suggestions on how to act like a proper naturalist - don't pull leaves or flowers, don't catch butterflies (they're fragile), and leave everything the way you've found it. The story ends with Nancy and her friend's younger siblings finding a baby bird, and, since birds don't mind if a human's touched their young, Nancy's mother puts it back into its nest.

And, of course, there are a few charming vocabulary lessons along the way!
