"A pocket sized nature field guide encouraging children to look closely at the small wild world around them, packed with practical tips and charming graphic novel style illustrations."
A field guide companion to Giselle Clarkson's much loved The Observologist, this pocket sized edition is designed to fit neatly into a hand or a bag and be taken out into the world. It is beautifully produced, with cover flaps that fold out to give you a ruler and size guide, a small detail that captures the practical, hands-on spirit of the whole book.
Like its larger predecessor, Pocket Observology encourages children to slow down and look really closely at the world around them. Organised into clear sections on invertebrates, birds, plants and fungi, it combines identification with genuinely useful guidance on practical things such as how to pick up a tiny spider or how to rescue an exhausted bee. The accessible, friendly writing style is engaging and straighforward, and the graphic novel and cartoon style illustrations make it a pleasure to browse as well as to use.
This is a book that works equally well read at home or carried outdoors and used in the field by nature loving children. At a time when so much of childhood happens on a screen, its quiet encouragement towards the mindful practice of looking, noticing and identifying feels especially welcome.
LoveReading4Kids recommends this for curious readers aged seven and above. It is ideal for shared exploration outdoors, well suited to classroom nature study and a lovely starting point for conversations about the natural world and the value of paying attention.
Perfect for readers who like:
● nature, wildlife and the outdoors
● Giselle Clarkson's The Observologist
● illustrated non fiction and graphic novel style information books
● hands on field guides they can use outside
● screen free, exploratory activities
This pocket guide is a useful tool and fun reminder of how to look at the world around you with care and close observation every day.
