Review Detail

Fungi Grow has beautifully detailed illustrations of fungi. This informational text is perfect for upper elementary readers with great vocabulary that is defined in easy-to-understand terms and a pronunciation guide so you can sound out the hard words. I like that it mentions the dangers of eating wild mushrooms as well as the scientific discoveries being made about the mushrooms that may help reduce toxic waste materials. I gained a newfound respect for the role fungi play as decomposers in our environment. Overall, this was an interesting read about Fungi with resources and fun facts in the back to extend your learning.
