Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
My First Nature Book
Kim Andrews · 2021
60/100
👎 Skip It
A gentle, honest little nature primer with real photographs and an author who's actually a working nature educator, which counts for something. It's necessarily shallow given how young and broad its audience is, and there's no outside buzz to point to, so it's a fine pick rather than a standout one.
