Percy moves from an old house in a busy city to a new home out in the country. Now, instead of lots of friends around, Percy is on his own, discovering all the wonders of nature. He climbs the trees, he smells the flowers and draws the clouds and collects things. What better way to meet people than to start your own nature museum! 

I loved how this was all about science, but didn't seem like a STEM book. The butterflies, the flowers, all the parts of nature, not just pictures but simple explanations. We had lots of fun pointing to the things we read about and then looking at Percy's museum to find them again. AJ wants to make a museum in her yard this summer - if she can get a play house to put it in.
