A mushroom book that is mainly aimed at children but which can be enjoyed by anyone.
The structure is interesting and never formulaic - some pages contain full page illustrations and information, others show a mushroom species and informs us specifically on that type.
The colour schemes were lovely and fresh.

Very informative and wonderfully illustrated. The tips on Foraging and basic guide for recognizing the different kinds of mushrooms are great.

A thoughtful, well illustrated and informative book about mushrooms! Perfect for children or middle grades who are interested in mushrooms or botany in general.

This children’s book was an absolute delight!

It was informative and fun, presented important information on mushrooms, which ones are toxic, and which non toxic ones have toxic lookalikes.

The illustrations were lovely, and captured the plants perfectly.

I loved the first few pages that went into the science behind how mushrooms grow, I even learned a few things!

As an author writing a book that includes a lot of toxic mushrooms within it, I will be referring back to this book as I write to make sure I get my descriptions perfect.

Overall, It is a very cute, very quick read, and presents the information in very simple terms so that people of all ages can explore the world of mushrooms!

Super educational, with illustrations beautiful enough to frame.
My only complaint is how easily you can lose the text on the busier pages, but kids usually take so long looking at the pages (if they're really interested) that I don't think it'd be a huge issue for them.

{Thank you bunches to Pauline Payen, Zelda Pressigout, Storey Publishing and NetGalley for the DRC in exchange for my honest review!}
