This was a gorgeously laid out, illustrated, and fascinating book. My only potential issue with this is that the font may be a little small and a little too fancy to read for some people. Otherwise, this was a really nice book to read and a wonderful introduction into the history of the natural world.

Fascinating treasure trove of a book! As a nerdy nature and history lover, I wish I’d had this as a child. Wonderful and tooted and delightful illustrations. The prefect gift for the child in your life regardless of whether their ingest is animals, nature, history, mysteries, etc.
