review:
'Outside: Discovering Animals' by Maria Ana Peixe Dias and Inês Teixeira do Rosário with illustrations by Bernardo P. Carvalho is a book for young naturalists looking at their world.

My review copy included about half of the book, but it was a pretty good sense of what the book offered. My copy started with the kinds of clues that animals leave behind, like partially chewed food, or feathers, tracks or pathways. It moved on to discovering about bugs and critters. There were encouragements to examine and document things like ant behavior or catching worms. My section ended on frogs and toads and how to tell anura and urodela apart (hint: it's the tail, or lack thereof).

The illustrations are good. The book itself is pretty good, but the layout and font was a bit on the small side. This would make a good book for curious children wondering about the critters in their garden and yard.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Childrens, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
