I want to be a wilderness detective 😀
it was good
I really like this book because I like to be a detective and I am a outside type of person which allows me to look for more animals
This was a really cool book and I felt like i was a real wilderness detective in the forest
This book taught me about lots of stuff in nature. Birds and flowers
I like this book I already feel sort like a detective in my backyard. I would rate this book 7/10
could make a big difference but no
3 stars
I like Be A Wilderness Detective book.This book had lots of information about the fields,woods and coastlines.I wonder why the woods,fields and coastlines are so intresting?:)
I thought this book was ok because at some parts it was kind of boring like when they talked about maple sap and fireflies. I thought it was boring at those parts because I already knew a lot about them. I liked the part about lichens because I learned knew things like that lichen is actually two organisms together, an alga and a fungus. I also learned that lichen create soil!!! I reccomend this book to people who like learning things about the wilderness.
