The Wonders of Nature (DK Children's Anthologies)

This book (and the others) have been on my list for a long time. I was so happy to see it on sale, so I grabbed it and couldn’t be happier. The illustrations are beautiful and it’s filled with information. I can’t wait to get the rest and finish the collection.

So beautiful and well written!

I love just about everything produced by DK, but this Anthology series is a real stand-out. Contrary to the typical DK format - white background with lots of photos or illustrations - this artistic book has a single topic and artwork for each page. The cover is richly embossed. The quality is exceptional for the price. Buy the whole series for a beautiful collection!

I got this book for my 5 year old granddaughter. She loves it. It may be a bit advanced for that age, but it works with some explanations. The book is beautifully illustrated, and the gold along the page edges are a nice touch.

Beautiful book.

I read this book every night with my 8 year old. I LOVE this series, but I loved space and ocean more. It may just be my preference, so I still have 5 stars. My son and I are going through every book in the series, and he (and I!) love it. I got National Geographic too, and that didn’t stand a chance against this series. Great photos, easy to read and understand. Chef’s kiss.

The prettiest books. I can’t wait to read these with my kids.

Awesome book that has rich content. Got it for the thx giving and my son loves it

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…

My children and I love this book, amazing pictures it’s great read together. Really fast delivery and perfect package. Absolutely Recommend!

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, amazon) 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

My 8 year old daughter loved the book. Beautiful book and easy to read

Beautifully made, my daughter really likes these books. Although I have to say that the selection of what is shown seems a bit chaotic to me. Does not disturb my daughter though ;)
