Reviews

A seek and find book with a beautifully simplistic and minimal approach, Jorrien Peterson's new work is a can't miss. Kids will learn about nine unique biomes (naturally occurring communities), what makes them special, be challenged to find specific flora and fauna and answer a question at the end of each "lesson."--Amber Guetebier "Red Tricycle" (4/17/2020 12:00:00 AM) "This book has been a lockdown lifesaver. My kids are curious, creative, and seriously cooped up. Only one of them can read independently, but they both adore this book. Each beautifully illustrated spread has some "Where's Waldo"-esque hunts for different plants and animals and a short intro to each type of biome and the book's specific example of that biome. In the back are more in-depth facts about each animal and plant in the book. My not-yet-a-reader loves searching for the animals, and my ravenous reader likes to flip to the back when he's alone and learn more about arctic bumblebees, etc."-- "Looseleaf E&P" (8/3/2020 12:00:00 AM)
