Q&A with the author posted on my blog
Book 1 in the Emmi’s World Series
Isn’t nature a beautiful thing? Emmi and her friends are on a backyard adventure exploring and making observations of all the creatures they see.
What I loved:
~ the close up view through the binoculars
~ big words are introduced and defined, like Naturalistic Observation
~ the mention of perspective and how she saw more opportunities by changing hers ~ this is true for many aspects of life
~ how a vision impaired adult wanted to join in the fun by using hearing at her sense
~ the aerial view of all 4 explorers on the expedition
~ the instructions on how to make your own binoculars because that is not something that everyone may own
~ Emmi has her own website with printable coloring pages
This is perfectly suitable for children aged 3-6. It showed the children safely inside their fenced in backyard, but I would have liked a reminder to not go out exploring on your own. I, also, would have liked to see a parent somewhere in the background observing the observer. Something fun could catch the eye of a young explorer and make them want to leave a safe environment.
The illustrations by Brie Bagwell were vibrant and fitting to the story. The flowers on Emmi’s shirt was a great idea since her adventure takes place in the spring.

Thank you NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for accepting my request to read and review Great Explorers
Observing nature through sights and sound.
Published: 12/11/22
An interactive book: There are just a couple big words with the definition immediately following. The next few pages are used to put the word into action. Before the book ends, the author smartly asked if the reader remembered the definition. I was incredibly impressed.
The story is engaging. The illustrations are darling with a color palette that draws your attention to the pages. My eyes wandered taking them in, and this was on my Kindle app.
At the back of the book there are a few crafty activities.
Extremely well-done, and I would gift, as well as have for a babysitter. In addition, I would include this in a babysitters' arsenal. I liked everything about this book.

A great book to introduce exploring to very young children. It is age-appropriate language for the younger ones with new vocabulary to expand their horizons. Can't wait for Emmi's next exploration of her world!

This was very entertaining as well as being instructional. Though aimed at very young children, its themes can resonate with all: be curious, observant, inclusive and respectful of your environment. I look forward to many more of Emmi's expeditions. Also, kudos to Brie Bagwell's illustrations. They made an already pleasant journey even more fun.

Muchas gracias por la muestra gratis , debo decir que el libro me gusto mucho , como mamá buscamos las mejores opciones para que nuestros hijos tengan aprendizaje en casa cuando están fuera de la escuela , debo decir que el libro me gusto porque aparte de que pueden aprender dos idiomas a la ves tanto escritura como vocabulario , es recreativo con sus actividades & sobre todo inclusivo con todas las personas , les deseo todo el éxito & espero en algún momento poder comprarlo aquí en Guadalajara
