Such a cute little book for little ones to get a head start in Mycology

I love this little book! As soon as I saw it, I had to order it for my toddler! We love to read together, and this is a special book, that you wouldn't find at your average bookstore. It's very easy to read and brings some basic mushrooms and fungi strains to light. I never learned about how amazing mushrooms, and fungi could be until I was an adult. They are so delicious, and many of them can be used as medicine. I was thrilled to share this little book with my toddler, in the hopes that they will grow with more interest and an open-mind to the beauty of nature. And hopefully be more likely to eat mushrooms when they are served in a dish. This book covers a few common strains of mushrooms, mostly of the gourmet varieties. It's very fun, with cute illustrations.

A cute lil' cozy mushroom book for the green of horn or young of heart.

Christina Sicoli and Caitlin Renee Steuer are responsible for this little educational book. From the bottom of my hearts, thank you so much. This is such an inspired project. The size of the book is perfect for children to hold onto, and the surface is very smooth. This thing just feels good in your hands.This may be aimed at children, but as I can personally attest, this will catch the eye of fungi foragers and cultivators like myself. I ordered this as a conversation piece and at the moment it lives in my reading nook in my kitchen. Hopefully someone will see it and it will give me another chance to speak about fungi!Each mushroom is a cute little character that captures the real features of each. Plus, you get to learn a handful of facts about each as well.I can easily recommend you purchase this book. The artist and writer deserve to be supported!PLUR!

A book of spore-tacular adventure

This book isn't just a read; it's an experience that cultivates curiosity and respect for the fungal kingdom among its readers, regardless of age.From the moment I opened the book, I was enchanted by the vibrant, colorful illustrations and the playful, yet educational narrative that guides children through the fascinating world of fungi. Each high quality page is a delightful mix of fun facts and engaging stories, making it an excellent tool for both entertainment and learning.I appreciate how the book also touches on the importance of safety and responsible foraging. Highly recommended for anyone looking to share their love of mushrooms with the little ones in their life.

Cute board book that I hope to use to get my little one to eat mushrooms!

This is a cute little board book that covers the main types of mushrooms used for culinary purposes. The book is well bound with colorful and fun illustrations and rhyming text. While it probably won't be a bedtime favorite, I'm hoping it'll help inspire my toddler to eat the mushrooms his dad regularly cooks with dinner.

Adorable!

I am expecting and having a baby in June. I'm doing a mushroom-themed shower and nursery and I loved the look of this book. It's even cuter than I expected! All the mushrooms are illustrated so adorably and they all have little eyes. It's informative however the text won't be applicable (though it does have fantastic vocabulary) until the child is older so I wouldn't say it exactly fits your expectations of a board book, but as a mushroom enthusiast, I hope this starts an interest in my kid early.The quality of the printing is clear and bright, and the thickness of the cardboard is adequately sturdy. Makes a lovely gift to a young nature-loving children and parents!

Cute book!

I got this book for my 1 year old twins and it is cute. I like the little write ups about the mushrooms, but also to be careful about mushrooms too. I'm pleased with it overall and would recommend it to others.
