Reviews

""This is such a special nature book for young people-little children love it as a bedtime story! ...Read them the book, and then go outside and look!"" -David Lewis, Publisher, North Light Books ""...a delight for all ages, introducing us to an often unseen world of wonder and beauty. The up-close and personal illustration engages and appeals to the senses, inviting you in to feel the fur of a deer (or a little jumping spider), to touch the warty skin of a toad without fear ... And the text, oh it is fun to read out loud! The words will tickle your tongue and make you smile..."" -Jennifer Lepore Brune, Content Manager/Producer, Streamline Publishing, Inc. art video courses; Writer/Editor, ArtNotes, PaintTube.tv; Senior Editor, North Light Books
