Hoare is a practical nature study guide aimed at children, likely written in the early 20th century. This educational resource facilitates hands-on exercises and observations about various elements of nature, including plants and animals, intending to cultivate children's curiosity and observational skills in the natural world. At the start of the book, the author emphasizes the importance of practical experience in learning about nature, introducing readers to various activities related to gardening and botany, such as observing the growth and structure of plants like snowdrops and crocuses. The opening portion features Uncle George and two boys, Frank and Tom, engaging in lessons that involve examining twigs and plant bulbs, examining their structures, and discussing different types of plants and their life cycles. The emphasis on inquiry-based learning lays a foundation for exploring more complex concepts related to plants and nature throughout the rest of the book.
