An adorable, STEM-themed picture book for kids 4 to 8 that reveals the wisdom mushrooms have to teach us.
Mushrooms always wear their thinking caps. They know so many things.

Engaging informational side bars with wild facts about mushrooms (such as how some are so strong they can grow through cement, and others can glow in the dark!)
Backmatter that dives further into the science
Important life lessons (including how to help each other and keep our homes clean)
For budding mycologists and forest adventurers alike, this is a must-have addition to the science and nature bookshelf.

Tatia likes to do everything first and best. She is thrilled to get to go on the first-ever Bibbidi Bobbidi Academy camping trip, and even more thrilled when she learns that the Fairy Godmother has a guidebook with tips for exactly how to do everything the right way. But the trip gets off to a rocky start when Tatia and her classmates discover that there are Pirate Fairies camping at their site too, which is so NOT in the book.
Things go from bad to worse when Tatia discovers a rodent infestation in their imperfectly-pitched tent. But when the school pet dragon, Brave, goes missing, Tatia has the opportunity to follow her heart instead of following the book. It turns out, sometimes adventure requires some flexibility.
