Wonders of Nature (Little Golden Book)

This is a wonderful science book for the "little ones". It's illustrated by my all-time favorite Golden Book illustrator - the late Eloise Wilkin.

This book was recommended by a dear friend and it has not been a disappointment at all. It's a wonderful introduction for toddlers to the fascinating world around us. Even adults might learn a thing or two from reading this. I did and I have a pretty good knowledge of the flora and fauna (how did I not know that kangaroo rats made use of metabolic water? So cool!).The artwork was created in the late 50s, so it is a little dated. However, it's still beautiful, captivating and full of small details. It does a pretty good job of representing several different biomes, but largely sticks to what we would are familiar with in the US/Canada. It is a fairly wordy book but my 2 year old will happily sit through the whole story and ask to read it again. All depends on what kind of reader you have.Highly recommend this!

My 48 year old son still refers to this book. He had it in a large size, which I couldn't find, but bought him a copy for his eventual grandchildren.

The book was in better-than-expected condition.

Great picture book to introduce lil ones to the wonders of nature.

Beautiful Illustrations and great information.Great for kids ages 2+

The condition was new. I wasn't sure if this book was new or used. It came in timely fashion. I noticed this book was the same thing I got in another book with a different title. I wanted this one but probably not have gotten the other one if I knew it was same. It was a gift for my mom who loved it. She loves the illustrator's work.

Great classic loved book

Love those books, love the vintage images! - I'm slowly building a small collection!

É muito linda as ilustrações e a história.

Great little book with many wonders of nature that I hadn't heard of myself. Inspires kids to explore and appreciate the world around them. And ask the questions that you may not have answers to :)

Beautiful book for children’s gift

I loved this book from childhood. the same book in a bigger print was in our home and my mum has drawn those same drawings in her drawing book in Pencil. I have been awestruck at those drawings and the prints in the book from childhood. I found this book and immediately bought this for my daughter. she is two and really enjoying the pictures and the nature.
