5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!

By Beezy 16 (Milwaukee, WI)

" This book is an amazing collection of beautiful spaces that every kid should be so lucky to play in! The photography and text both compliment each other well and pay careful attention to what's really good for kids! In this era of bright plastic and artificial, second hand experiences, this author brings hope for reconnecting children and the natural world in meaningful,hands on sorts of ways once again! Makes me wish I was 8 all over again!"

RAVE REVIEW!

" I wanted a natural playground for our neighborhood school. I had read the research, searched the internet and clipped articles out of magazines and yet, I still didn’t know where to start. Then I found Rusty Keeler’s book Natural Playscapes. The book is wonderful! It has pages of beautiful photographs and drawings to inspire you. The real value of the book though is when you sit down and really read it. There, tucked in the chapters, is advice for every situation; no matter if you are designing a playscape for your school, child care center, park, or your own backyard. Rusty has covered it all! I really appreciate that he realizes that not every climate is the same as he includes that too. This book is not a “one size fits all” but an in-depth wealth of information for you to adapt to make your own. Either in Rusty’s own words or in the language of others who have created their own playgrounds, you will find the steps and the inspiration to create your own vision, no matter how large or small!"

KIDS LOVE IT!

"I like the pictures because they are so cool.. I want to build the stuff and look at the book at the same time. I marked all the best pictures in the book but I ran out of sticky notes. Thank you for a cool book!"
