Nature Study in Elementary Schools, Readers/Google Books
First Reader: The title mentions that this is a first reader; however, it looks a bit advanced for a first reader, more like a second grade leveled reader. Take a look to determine for yourself.
Second Reader, Myths, Stories, and Stories: Again, seems advanced for second grade, more like a third grade reader.
Both are very nice month-by-month nature readers.

There are no grades assigned to these books; however they appear to be appropriate for third and fourth grade. They have some really nice writing lessons, some with illustrated picture prompts for creative writing.
