With her talent for anthropomorphizing everything, specimens such as the fun-to-stomp puffballs to the prince of stinkers—the stinkhorn mushroom—take on a new life. Her knowledge of this fascinating kingdom will bring each species to life and light the flame of curiosity in young readers. It’s a great addition to any graphic and non-fiction collection.
