Review: Shanleya's Quest Book & Game

Shanleya's Quest is an instant classic.  Designed for children ages 9 to 99, the book teaches about botany in a way that I have never seen before.  Shanleya's Quest presents botanical concepts and plant identification skills in an easy and fun metaphorical format for children as well as for adults who are young at heart.Shanleya's Quest begins with a creation myth that parallels evolutionary concepts, where life begins as bubbles in a puddle of soup under the radiance of Father Sun and the gentle glow of Mother Moon. 

I am so grateful for this book, as it is truly a masterpiece of its kind.

Shanleya's Quest Patterns in Plants Card Game is designed to be played after reading the book ... pure genius.  It is a fun way to test the skills involved in identifying botanical family patterns that are described in the book.  I have so much fun playing this game.  It helps me learn too.  What a great idea!!!
