Another absolutely brilliant book by Gabby Dawnay and once again illustrated by the talented Margaux Samson Abadie, (If you don't know the prior book Another absolutely brilliant book by Gabby Dawnay and once again illustrated by the talented Margaux Samson Abadie, (If you don't know the prior book I am speaking of, grab this and "Round and Round Goes Mother Nature" at the same time). Last time we looked at lifecycles. This time we are exploring how animals communicate and I learned so much. I think the beauty of these is that they are both brilliantly written and the illustrations add so much to the learning as well. They aren't just extras, they are intricate to the book and add so much depth. My only request: More books written and illustrated by this duo. We will be adding this book to our homeschool shelf alongside the other.

It is packed with information on dinosaurs, the time period, and other prehistoric creatures. It breaks down not just the creatures but how we study them, what happened to them, and even what careers there are related to studying the PreHistoric World. The Illustrations and included photos are great as well. This is a great book to keep on your shelf. The only minor complaint I have is that the pronunciation of each creature isn't listed on the page but there is a pronunciation guide at the back of the book. That just means my kids are going to correct me when I read it to them.
Last but not least, there is a great glossary and index. I love a good glossary.

They did their job because the moment I turned the page, I wanted to visit the places they depicted. The only downside is that I think I have 50 new trips planned. Each of these adventures is just a snapshot of one thing you could do in each state. The snapshots paint a beautiful picture of how vast and diverse the US is though and left me eager to explore more. A great way to inspire a love of adventure and travel.

It was full of interesting information and the illustrations are very well done. I liked how each section title dealt with a common question. The questions my kids ask when mummies come up, this book has them covered. It also, wasn't too much information. It offered just enough to answer the question, help us learn more, etc. but not so much that they are overwhelmed by the information presented. This will be on our homeschool shelf as we are study Ancient Times this year and it will be a great resource when we study Egypt.

We read so many books that talk about the horrible impacts on the environment, on animal populations declining, etc. And don't get me wrong, we will keep reading those books too because they are important but this book, it was needed. I want my kids to know that there is hope too! That there are helpers. People doing the work and making a difference. I loved every story the author shared with us.

The stories added are a nice touch and there is also a lot of information about each bug featured. I think this would work best for younger elementary kids. My 8 year old was ready for something a little more in-depth whereas this held my 6 year olds attention. If you have a younger kid who like bugs, this would be a good book for them. ...more

It is beautiful and so informative. The illustrations and the way the river moves through the pages is just gorgeous. It really helps you understand the journey and the movement of the waterway. It also showcases some of the animals you might find along the river. I highly recommend this book. It worked well for both my Kindergartner and Second Grader. ...more
This book does a wonderful job of laying a solid foundation before jumping into the stories! There is so much that you need to know to really understaThis book does a wonderful job of laying a solid foundation before jumping into the stories! There is so much that you need to know to really understand the Greek Myths and it is easy to get confused with all the stories. The way this book lays the foundation really help the reader have an understanding before the story starts. I also liked the additional facts and questions throughout the book. I found the graphics just to be okay though and the layout for the additional facts/questions felt a bit old school textbook-ish. That part wasn't my favorite but the stories themselves and the foundational information was great.
