From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 2-- Photographs and a concise text encourage children to take a closer : look at the natural world as a young girl calls attention to the sizes, shapes, and patterns found in plants and animals. Large print and abundant white space bring focus to crisp, full-color photographs juxtaposed so that readers can easily relate the subject in its natural setting to a sometimes greatly magnified closeup. Seeds, feathers, the eye of a frog, a spider's web, and a butterfly wing are examined. Clarification of less-easily identified objects is provided. Nature Spy reverses the style used by Tana Hoban in Look Again! (Macmillan, 1971), which proceeds from a closeup view to the total object. The book is simple enough for beginning readers to handle independently, but has enough content for adults to share one-on-one or in small groups. An especially good choice to present before taking a walk with a group of youngsters. --Diane Nunn, Richard E. Byrd Elementary School, Glen Rock, NJ
