5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book but more obscure

D.K. · 9 September 2024

It is a fabulous book. Creatures in it are more obscure so it may be more appropriate for slightly older kids. My 3 year old loved the animal one and recognised a lot of the animals in it. This one isn't picked up as much but he still loves it. Older kids would love it as there's a lot of learning in it with more obscure and unknown creatures.

4.0 out of 5 stars lovely book but arrived with corners showing wear

s. · 12 May 2024

I had to order an exchange but because the replacement item would not have arrived in time for the child's birthday I had to give the first one as the gift. Lovely book but Bolo need to consider when placing books in cardboard sleeves/envelopes not to allow slide room as it damages corners. The book was grinning through white on the corners. The book itself deserves 5 stars but due to damage I gave 4 stars. Beautiful book full of facts. Great gift to give.

Arrived damaged

Really disappointed because this was a birthday gift for my daughter, and it came damaged straight out of the box. If it wasn’t so difficult to return items in Portugal, I would ship it back.The book itself is great, with pictures as well as cute drawings.

Muito bom
