The Mushroom Fan Club

Gravel, Elise. The Mushroom Fan Club. NP: Drawn & Quarterly, 2018.

The Mushroom Fan Club is on the 2019 Children’s Choice Award finalist list for grades 3-4. I purchased the book so that my students could participate in the award process this year. It is an informative book with delightful illustrations but it is not a book I would have purchased had it not been for this award. Elise Gravel takes the topic of mushrooms and presents them in a way that this age-group can easily understand. While her illustrations are cartoon-like, they contain enough detail that they should help a reader discern between mushroom types.

Elise Gravel closes the book with some interesting mushroom facts as well as instructions for creating spore prints.

The Mushroom Fan Club by Elise Gravel is appropriate for our K-12 Christian School library.
