Thank you to Net Galley, Quarto Publishing Group - Ivy Kids, and Ranger Hazma for an Advanced Reader's Copy. I happily share my review of this book. When you go for a walk, how many colours can you see? What do you hear? Or perhaps you notice the interesting smells? Some things are easy to spot, like tall buildings or fluffy clouds, but some, like ants and other bugs, are so teeny tiny that you have to look very closely or even use a magnifying glass.
