Nature Spy Guide is a well written and engaging field guide for young kids (and their adults) by Shelley Rotner. Released 5th March 2024 by Lerner on their Millbrook Press imprint, it's 32 pages and is available in paperback, library binding, and ebook formats.

It's a short book but very well photographed and engaging. There are prompts and activities to get kids outdoors and -observing- the world around them. It would be a great choice for public or school library acquisition, for home use, activity groups, or a homeschooling unit on nature/science.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

This beautifully photographed book invites young readers to get out and explore nature. By framing the reader as a spy, it becomes an adventure that requires patience, good observation skills, and identification. This would be a great book to read at a Forest School program or with students any time of the year. I highly recommend this book for schools and libraries.
