Product Description

Artists and scientists analyse the world around them in surprisingly similar ways - by observing, collecting, documenting, analysing and comparing. In this captivating guided journal, readers are encouraged to explore their world as both artists and scientists. Smith sets the reader the mission of documenting and observing the world around them as if they've never seen it before - taking notes and collecting things they find on their travels. With a series of interactive prompts and a beautiful hand-illustrated two-colour package, readers will love exploring this gorgeous book.

Alice Leathley - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: How To Be An Explorer of the World: Portable Life Museum (Paperback)

It's a great book for quite artistic people as it forces you to see beauty in literally everything. I'd say it's not really aimed at children under the age of 13 as the ideas are sometimes a bit complex, but I'm 15 and I absolutely love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Now an avid explorer!, 26 July 2009

ClaireD "ClaireD" (N Ireland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How To Be An Explorer of the World: Portable Life Museum (Paperback)

I absolutely LOVE Keri Smiths books, i was started off on 'Wreck This Journal' and i bought this book about two months ago before I went to Holland. Even in every day life this book helps you to be creative and really look out for details you would normally ignore.. I would say this book is a fantastic tool for teaching & learning how to be more open and observant.. which in turn unleashes creativity! Highly recommend any of Keri Smiths books but this is my favourite at the moment :) I am now an avid collector and explorer of the world.

Joanna - See all my reviews

This review is from: How To Be An Explorer of the World: Portable Life Museum (Paperback)

My 7 year old daughter was given this book for her birthday about 6 months ago. She has loved using it and still takes it along when we are out and about. I don't think it is too old for her - she is very artistic and imaginative. Great book!
