Review Detail

I love this book series and was so excited to see a Backpack Explorer dedicated to all things tree!

The cover of the book is thicker than a paperback but not as thick as a hardback and is coated in a protective material making it lightweight and durable. The information is well laid out making it easy for kids to use. The pictures are colorful and informative, giving extra depth to this field guide.
I love the hands-on STEAM challenges, like building a fort or creating a collage. Some of the activities are great for younger children just learning to sort or make patterns.

Earning the badges as you find different object on your journey is another fun wat to reward children for getting outside and connecting with nature. The extra stickers make for a more personalized adventure.
We have not tried the Backpack Explorer online game, but might soon on rainy or cold winter days.

A tree spotting journal in the backmatter completes this fun guide book.
Perfect for kids just getting into backyard exploration!
