Product Information

You guys were so fab and Dawn was such a lovely presence in the schools - I will absolutely be in touch next time I'm in your neck of the woods. This book of fabulous fungi will intrigue and amaze young readers, and open their eyes to the fungi thriving all around them. There was just the right amount of choice to suit everyone without being overwhelming and I received comments from parents and staff about the quality of books offered compared to previous sales which have always been based around current crazes and well known celebrity authors. In recent years, the importance of boosting immunity has become a hot topic, and when we hear the word "Fungus," we get the impression that it's a creepy something that should be avoided, but in reality, there are trillions of fungi all around us.

This beautifully illustrated children's book takes a close look at the lifecycle of water, including how it supports all life forms, how humans harness its power, and why we need to conserve it. I love that the book takes a topic that would not usually interest students much and turns it into something of curiosity and creativity as they learn through the book. I have even talked the head into a little revamp of the library so that we can display them properly! This book engages children in a nonfiction topic in a thoughtful way -- the layouts on each page pair illustrations with text to tell a story about different topics around the broader subject matter.They affect other creatures, too, for example by helping break down food, or controlling their minds against their will. From the villains of the possible extinction of bananas to plastic-eating eco-warriors, there are more than 1. Some are even found inside animals - helpful fungi break down food in animal guts, but others take over their hosts' bodies.

It does have a lot of good info to share, but you have to be okay with a little chaos if you're using it for learning purposes. There’re mighty killers that could wipe out an entire crop, but there’s also eco-friendly fungi like the one discovered in 2017 to be able to break down plastic.Furthermore, his characterisations, from the dubious Dr Shroomsworth, to Admin Bunny or Blossom the Unicorn, are hilarious. Embark on a magical tour of the forest floor and discover one of the most fascinating living organisms on this planet – fungi. This experience has been fantastic primarily for the children, the school and also for me (professionally). However (Nonetheless), we cannot overlook (underestimate) the indispensable role they play in our ecosystem. you re bound to find countless facts and new information that will make you want to text or talk to someone about it!
