Tons of information on each page without information overload. A good quick reference." -Debbie Buck, Vintage Books
"I would recommend this book for the beautiful illustrations alone. Patrons will enjoy looking at the images. There is so much on each page that it can be reread over and over." -Amanda B., Librarian
"The illustrations are very well done as well as beautiful. I believe this is a book that can be enjoyed by readers of any age, whether just looking at the pictures or truly studying them." -NetGalley-Educator
"This one is such a visual treat! It is absolutely lovely and includes so many details to discuss and marvel over. There are two more books in this line that are similarly lovely: Colors in Nature and Colors in Habitats.
