Here is the other book: "i love dirt! 52 activities to help you and your kids discover the wonders of nature, by Jennifer Ward". This book is full of activities to do outside, in nature. The sections are set up by seasons. This one seems more appropriate for my kids. The activities seem like they are meant for younger children or at least activities that could be shared with different ages at once. They are all fun activities but with underlying lessons. This book is set up in a smaller version that could be brought into the trees easier than a larger book.
Both books were great finds. Each one had a purpose and I believe they are both worthy of being on the bookshelf of our home library.

I really like "I Love Dirt!" We've done a few things out of that book.
The first book sounds right up my alley as well. Thanks so much for sharing! ;-)
