eBooks through Netgalley thanks to publishers in exchange for an honest review. Images are simply to show off the eBook I have and may not be 100% accurate to what they published.

Informative and illustrative love the contrast of black and the blues.

Overall: This is a great resource for in the classroom or in the family bookshelf. Amazon lists this as a K-3 resource. It could be to explore imagery or work through the text. But to me this feels and reads for more 3rd and up? I could be wrong and it depends on your younging. But it's a good group/family read ..to go along with exploring the outside world.

This was a really fun book to read through. I loved the many different facets of nature that were discussed and illustrated in this book.

I have shared this with my kids, and they really enjoyed it as well. For kids ages 5 and up, this is the perfect gateway into understanding nature and getting to know the many different aspects that make up what we view in the natural world.

Get ready for a fun-filled adventure and enjoyable time reading with your kids.

*Thank you NetGalley for an advanced copy for an honest and unbiased review*

This book have an interesting contents about various things, from trees to animals, living in nature (North American nature mostly), so you can learn about it and then, or while, exploring it. The contents is good, but the format is boring. It just look like a old school science book from the 80's. The color, the illustrations, all about it scream old! And so, I'm not sure that the kids, who are the targeted public, would find it very interesting and would be attract to it. 4 stars for the contents, 1 star for the objects in itself, I go with 2,5 overall.

I really enjoyed this book as it reintroduced me to a number of concepts that I had learned while in school, but hadn't really thought about or explored more since then. For learning about nature, I tend towards children'ts books because they are generally written in a clear and concise manner without any judgement and this book definitely fulfills those categories. I also really enjoyed the artwork that went along with the different pages and can see how it would appeal even more to a younger reader.

Favorite fact learned is that daisies are actually comprised of more than one flower, you just have to look closely :)

I received this book in exchange for a review, but the opinions are my own.
