I loved this concept and the art was magnificent!
I am really fluctuating between a 4 and a 5 for this book.
This is a lovely book about nature and what is waiting for us outside. It tells how outside comes to us in many ways and how we need what is outside. The illustrations, while not a style I would normally find appealing, are compelling and command the reader to really see them and follow their pathway. In this manner they reflect the story itself.

This is absolutely gorgeous in its illustrations, so it's worth checking out for those alone. The message is not that of a lecture, but a plea to "come outside!"
If you like this, also try On a Magical Do-Nothing Day, A Tree Is Nice and of course for older children, The Secret Garden ...more

The illustrations in this book are gorgeous and I love the concept of how the outdoors and nature affects so much of our lives. Beautiful and compelling reminder of why it is so important to be outside and have nature a part of our health.
Perfect
Is Outside trying to entice us to come out? In a lyrical story Underwood reminds us of the joys awaiting us outside.
