Customer Reviews

Lots of fun on this mushroom hunt!

Loved this book! It is full of beautiful illustrations and interesting facts about mushrooms, interwoven with a story of a family going into the mysterious woods searching for mushrooms. The little girl stomps on puffballs and brown spore dust bursts out. The little boy pulls up a large gray mushroom and sees threads of fungus under a pile of dead leaves. The family walks home under the moonlight. There are full page illustrations of the woods in autumn, and smaller drawings of various mushrooms, very beautifully done.
