- Reviews -

A lushly-coloured study. * NZ Listener * The whole effect is just stunning. Beautiful understated artwork. . . This book is a delightful edition to the Nature Storybook series. * KidsBooksNZ * Highly recommended. Augmented with lustrous illustrations, reading this book is a treat. This is a wonderful addition to a fascinating series, well produced, thoughtfully written and informative. * Read Plus * Huber and Lovelock have teamed up again to produce another beautiful narrative, nonfiction, picture book. This book is perfect for a wide age range. * Bookrapt * I dig this. As a teacher I would happily add this to a library corner as a research tool, and as a parent it makes a nice bedtime story. * Golden Adventures *
