From the Publisher
‘The sort of book you can’t help touching.’ – WSJ
‘Maps’ is as likely to engross adults as it is 7- to 10-year-olds. … [I]t gives aesthetic pleasure all the way from the table of contents to the flags of the world at book’s end.’
—The Wall Street Journal
‘A visual extravaganza’

Readers will feel like scientists and explorers with each page turn.

The fun of “Animals” is in large part the scale of the thing: At a foot-and-a-half long and just over a foot wide, it is a great big jubilant collection of colorful creatures.
—The Wall Street Journal.
“The oversize edition is designed as an haute couture catalog; with saucy copy and retro-VOGUE illustrations it’s spot-on – and out of this world.:
– Publishers Weekly.
Containing everything from perennials to bulbs to tropical exotica, this wonderful feast of botanical knowledge is complete with superb cross sections to show how plants work.
