This book is really lovely in the way that books used to be. I bought it as a Christmas present for my grandson aged 6. He is absolutely a little bookworm and also loves animals and nature. I’m sure this book will immediately pique his interest because of the beautiful cover even before he opens it to the amazing illustrations.

This book is fabulous. My 3 year olds love it and there's plenty to look at. One of my boys literally won't put it down. The only downside is that the book wears quickly ie. Corners get damaged quickly. But for the price and the photo quality it is amazing . Would make a great gift.

I was pleasantly surprised when this book arrived. The pictures are stunning, the content is engaging and pitched perfectly towards young readers and the quality of the actual book itself makes it very special. The edges of the pages are embossed in gold ink and there is a page marker ribbon. The outer covers of the book are hard covered and have a texture that gives the book a quality feel. Overall this is quite a thick weighty book with plenty of content. One to treasure and hand down the generations. I have purchased this for my little boy for Christmas. I’m now tempted to get the nature one as well.

Such a beautiful book
