The Child's Book of Nature - Optional Schedule

This is a slightly different weekly schedule for those using the online public domain edition of The Child's Book of Nature, Book II, Animals. There's an additional chapter in Term 1, so every week is one-off with the regular AO schedule. Term 2 is the same as the regular AO schedule, and Term 3 does not have the final chapter on Hygiene, so there's an extra week with no reading.
