What a delightful read! It reminded me of a science journal meets graphic novel. The illustrations are beautiful, and the text is very easy and quick to read. I can see this being a book we come back to over and over again to just look at. My daughter's favorite page was the one about the mosquito - did you know that mosquitoes are pollinators?

This is a must read for any nature lover. ( )
