I read this with my daughter and we both absolutely adored it. You never know what kind of magic you’ll find when you take a walk on a mushroom day! Beautiful illustrations and a beautiful story. Our family goes mushroom hunting so we loved the section in the back with the different types of mushrooms. The illustrations felt cozy and perfect. Made me nostalgic. I can already think of at least two people I would gift this to.

This was a wonderful book that showcased the many mushrooms and fungi that can be found in our forests. Fungi are a very important part of our ecosystems as they support the growth of many other organisms. This book was a great introduction for kids into the wonderful world that can be found under the forest floor. The illustrations were very in line with the story that was being told and I think will allow kids to really get a feel for the story.

I received an advance copy of this book from netgalley. All opinions are my own.

We loved learning all about mushrooms! We immediately reread it and took the time to read all about the mushrooms mentioned in the back! I want to use this book as a gateway into tasting different mushrooms with my 4 year old and he is excited!

Love me some fungi. To look at. To smell. To taste. And while Mexican Gothic ruined that for a hot minute, I'm back on my Bella Swan mushroom ravioli bullshit. The one at Sorrento Ristorante in Houston is particularly good.

I digress. While this is cute and everything, sections of the text are pale yellow on a white background. Perhaps that's just because this is an ARC. Perhaps it will be fixed in the final copy. I hope so. My elder millennial eyes had to squint to read nearly half of this. But overall, an enjoyable read.

"On a Mushroom Day" is a beautifully illustrated book written to teach children about the unique world of mushrooms. The writing flows smoothly and is easy for children to understand. The illustrations are engaging and colorful. As a preschool educator, I would be happy to read this to my class!
