Review quotes
provides a wealth of information about their respective topics. While they are
organized unconventionally when compared to traditional encyclopedias, their
topics are appealing and very accessible for youngsters: Not all of us Fly, We
Live by the Waterside, Flowering Plants, Non-Flowering Plants. Each text is filled with colorful, detailed illustrations
that are filled with labels, and captions. The text is sparse, however it does
the job and goes a long way toward explaining the key features or importance of
each creature or the flora and fauna on each two page spread. Young botanists
and ornithologists will enjoy exploring the pages and learning how to classify
and identify a variety of common and unique plants and birds. ―Youth
Services Book ReviewThe writing is conversational and welcoming for young
readers, but the real star of the show is the wonderful illustrations that will
draw readers in and keep them turning pages. Don't miss this one. ―Seattle
