5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and Fascinating Book

C. · 27 September 2025

A really beautiful book with lots of interesting topics. Lovely illustrations and a great way to spark curiosity about the natural world. My 9 year old loves it and asked for more from the same range.Perfect for children who love learning and exploring new ideas.

5.0 out of 5 stars A breathtakingly beautiful and fascinating book for all ages

E. · 15 November 2019

I love this book. We got "An Anthology of Intriguing Animals " last year and loved its classy feel and fascinating facts. We were really looking forward to this being released and haven't been disappointed. It is simply stunning - gorgeous artwork, beautifully produced and well made with quality pages that are gold edged. This gives it a very expensive and sophisticated look. It looks great on our coffee table and has been commented on by many visitors.The writing is very engaging - full of fascinating facts and insights presented in bite sized chunks. Although aimed and written for children readers in our house of all ages have enjoyed reading this and dipping in and out of it. I am 43 and have learned so much!!Wonders of Nature is a good title as the subject matter is broad, more so than most other nature books. In addition to plants and animals this book covers rocks and minerals and microscopic life. These would not always be subjects to grab my attention but the writing is excellent and fascinating. Who knew that microscopic water bears are everywhere and are the toughest animals of all - being able to survive being frozen, boiled, show and starved of water?!When I bought further copies in waterstones ( sorry, Bolo) the lady at the till said that this was her favourite book of the year and I can see why. I have stocked up for Christmas presents and for myself and know that I have secured myself a great gift that will be well loved for years

T. · 3 January 2021

This is a beautiful book which I purchased along with the 'space and universe' version. It is made in a luxurious quality with gold edging on the pages. The images and artwork and amazing and there is always something interesting on each page to learn.This will def be a book that will be looked at over the years and one that will be a great addition to any family home library. I imagine this will help in various homework tasks over the upcoming years ahead.It was a very good price, esp for the quality, weight and size of the book.My 5yr old loved looking at it too, he is just starting to really get interested in books and the detail of the pictures really helped to capture his interest. He can't read very well at the moment as he is only at the start of his learning journey but he could still learn from the pictures in the book.I would def recommend this book and I will def be looking at the others available in this range of books. I think my daughter will be passing this down to her children when the time comes.

…but for me and those around me, the contents are not quite as expected.📝 '...The storybook descriptions let you discover the myths and legends surrounding both organisms and gemstones, as well as key facts about their natural history. Find out how the prowling jaguar uses spots to avoid being spotted, why a sticky sundew means big trouble for insects, and what on Earth a radiolarian is. This beautiful treasury lets you find the things that interest you and uncover new favourites along the way. With reference pages packed with information you'll go away knowing something you didn't before, and you'll return time and again...'(SPOILER ALERT…those not so keen on our 8-legged friends may need to prepare themselves for the LARGE picture, on page 155 (eek!) …and the ‘BUMBLEBEE’, on page 160, is also a bit of an eye opener!)From the back cover (1st image below refers):📝 ‘Discover the wonderful world of nature and learn about some of the most amazing rocks and minerals, microscopic life, plants and animals on Earth.From opals to orchids and tapirs to toadstools, this beautiful collection brings more than 100 examples from the natural world to life.Every page reveals fantastic photography and gorgeous illustrations as well as surprising facts and stories you won’t forget.’The current ‘LOOK INSIDE’ facility above gives a fair idea of the layout including the full CONTENTS list at the front and the handy 2-page GLOSSARY at the back, along with a snatch of the colourful VISUAL GUIDE, i.e. the index of items, in order of appearance, that includes extra key information (last image below refers), just ahead of the page of CREDITS that winds up the weighty tome.ooOoo※ TITLE : DK ~ THE WONDERS OF NATURE※ AUTHOR : BEN HOARE※ ILLUSTRATORS : ANGELA RIZZA & DANIEL LONG※ 2019‘Printed and bound in China’ooOooMeasuring around 21.5 cm x 27.75 cm x 2.5 cm, this is undoubtedly an impressive looking publication.

Beautiful cover and content

G. · 18 November 2021

The book is good for 10 y kids or younger if he/she has interest in nature.It has tons of knowledge and covers one topic of class 12 that is animal world.As a teacher I can assure u the main problem teaching with 11 and 12 students is their lack of knowledge or knowledge limited to school books, which seriously lack in knowledge and also are out dated…It’s good to develop reading knowledge and have wide knowledge from early age…The book is good and has ton of info…
