Do you find your little one’s “treasures” in the laundry? Are there strange sounds, odors, and liquids coming from blue jean pockets? Snuggling up and reading What’s in Your Pocket won’t fix your discoveries in the depths of their pockets, but it will lean into your little one’s curiosity. Nine different scientists, who had a propensity of stuffing their pockets, and where that led them later in life. These scientists include George Washington Carver, William Beebe, Jane Goodall, Charles Darwin, Margret Lowman, Diego Cisneros-Heredia, Mary Anning, Maria Merian, and Bonnie Lei. Each contributed scientific breakthroughs to their field of studies. The book has lovely illustrations and a mini biography on each scientist at the end. The author also provides her Rules for Collecting at the end, which are good things to remember when you have enthusiastic foragers. Reading this with little ones might spark their interest and lead to more dirty pockets. Happy discovering! 48 pages, softcover. ~Rebecca
