Review: Beautiful Book! - I wish I could give this book ten stars. It’s beautiful. The illustrations cover entire pages and captivate your imagination while making you look differently at the world around you. It teaches you to look at nature differently. My one year old exclaimed over the book and chatters away at each page. It’s a beautiful book and we are in love with it! Review: This Set is Worth Adding to your Nature Book Collection - I don't buy a lot of books because I'm a big library user, but these books are an exception and I'm so happy to have them in our collection. I teach nature education to students 3-10 years. I had these books available during each of my classes this week and all ages loved looking/reading them. Many students couId gather around the book, because of its large size, and enjoy the book together. I have the two companion books, along with this one, Shapes and Patterns in Nature. Each page is beautifully illustrated and organized. They are large books, sturdy, well designed and have excellent labeling for each illustration. The only thing I don't like about these books is that the labels are written in cursive script, making it a difficult for children who do not know cursive to read, but I think that bothered me more than the kids, because it is the illustrations that make the book so lovely. These books would make a great addition to a nature journaling class for children 7-10, and are easily enjoyed by younger children, too.
