Mom's Review

The Observologist
is a spectacular offering for any kid interested in the natural world. This illustrated guide to exploring the small wonders around you appeals to your curiosity and feeds it well. Because the book is divided by locations like "sidewalk" or "behind a curtain," it's easy to navigate and find a section that piques your interest. Just after looking at this book, T and I noticed a really cool beetle in the garden and then turned the leaf over to see if anything was on the underside. We wouldn't have taken that extra step of observation if not for The Observologist, and we were rewarded with a clutch of tiny eggs!

The Observologist
fosters a deep appreciation for nature.
