Description

Oct 09 News! Nettie Does the NCT: North Country Trail by Lorana A. Jinkerson, illustrated by Toby Mikle is an Award-Winning Finalist in the Children s Picture Book: Softcover Non-Fiction category of the National Best Books 2009 Awards, sponsored by USA Book News. Nettie Does the NCT: North Country Trail is a children's book about four friends who are members of the North Country Trail Association and love to hike the North Country National Scenic Trail. As the story of their adventures unfolds, Blue Blazes provide the reader with interesting and useful facts about the North Country Trail and hiking it, thus making this book a teaching tool for parents and teachers as well as a fun book to read. As Richard Louv's Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder notes, we need to encourage parents to expose their children to the wonders of our natural environment. This can be accomplished through hiking on the NCT with Nettie and her friends since sixty-five million people, "21 percent of the U.S. population," are within a single day s drive of this amazing trail - the North Country National Scenic Trail, that is!
