Beautiful book
Published by Dana , 3 years ago
I impulsively bought this book when I was getting ready to teach an early elementary class on Zoology. I was delighted to see that this book isn't like the typical "animal facts" books. It's beautiful in a graphic designer sort of a way. Everything is hand illustrated and written, making the book feel personal, somehow. The information in it is varied and interesting. My kindergartner and freshman both enjoy it (as do I). I like it so much that I bought another copy for my nephew.
