Every page features a black and white hand drawn illustration accompanied by one or two surprising animal facts. This is a charming compendium for ages 3-93, and quite lovely for gifting. ~ Reviewed by Nancy Scheemaker

A beautifully illustrated, cleverly designed book for future globetrotters. Perfectly balanced between informative and decorative, Our World spans seasons and landscapes the world over. And best of all, this book opens up into the shape of a globe, with a small magnet in the front and back covers so that it can stand up in 3D! ~ Reviewed by Joe Michon-Huneau

A funny, gross, spooky and wonderful book about oddly, deliciously and weirdly named animals that live in the deepest parts of oceans, the highest trees and possibly even in your own backyard. You learn the naked mole rat is not a rat or a mole (but is naked). You learn that when it "snows” in the ocean, you REALLY don't want to build a snowman. You find out what a Yeti Crab is and a Vampire Squid (not a squid or vampire, sorry) is. Not to mention the differences between "arms" and "tentacles" for the animals that don them. And you learn that sometimes scientists have a love of Harry Potter, their nieces and might have been hungry when they named a few critters. (And, for the record, the smooth-headed blobfish is NOT the ugliest creature regardless if it has been voted that.) ~ Reviewed by Jeanette

An accessible for multiple ages and levels picture book that was a nonfiction/fiction story. You learn about the hummingbird in easy, but not simple, text in a way that is exciting. There are facts, but not present as a textbook is likely to do. Your child (ages a strong 5 to about lower 8 years-old) will love following the journey this tiny bird makes from New England, over the Gulf of Mexico and finally to its winter home. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette

My only objection about this book is that it wasn’t available when I was a kid! With beautiful artwork and enticing flaps, this gorgeous book is an engaging and fresh approach to teaching the beauty and wonders of our one and only home, Planet Earth. ~ Reviewed by Linda Then
