I am in love this with book and my kiddos will be too. Also, I learned How to Win the Love of a Jumping Spider and I think my life if forever changed just from that one page. This book is everything you need to know and everything you didn't realize you needed to know. It is just a fun look at the world and one of my favorite field guides in awhile. Packed with information. Great layout, Fun graphics. And playful additions.

🐜 I love this book! I would have read this cover-to-cover multiple times when I was a kid!

🕷️ Observologists are people who notice the small, interesting details in the world around them. This book includes information about tools you need to be an observologist, and how to document what you see. It also provides interesting info about where to find certain creatures or plants to observe.

🪰 The bulk of the book is about the types of small creatures, plants, or fungi you may find. The pages are full of great information!

🪱 There is also some fun info like how to sneak up on a bug, how to win the love of a jumping spider, and how to get a fly out of your house. There is even a “final exam” at the end of the book to see what you learned and an Observologist certificate you can put your name on.

🐛 Great illustrations throughout!

🐝 There is quite a bit of text with scientific terminology on each page. I would recommend this for slightly older readers, maybe 8 and up… particularly if they are reading it for themselves.

🐌 Any curious kid would love this book – especially if they love bugs and slugs and other creepy crawlies! This would be a great classroom book as well.

Thank you @netgalley and @GeckoPress for an eARC of this book, which I have read and reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

I absolutely loved this book! It’s quirky, fun, and educational. The illustrations are awesome and help guide the reader through the various steps and techniques of being a great observologist. I would recommend this one to kids over the age of 5, because it’s more intricate and detailed.
