Review: Great book kids can grow into - My 2-year-old niece absolutely loves this book. She enjoys going through all the pictures, asking questions, and sometimes even telling you what each picture is. Right now, she mainly enjoys the visuals and shorter descriptions, but I can already tell this is a book she’ll continue to grow into as she gets older. I’m excited for the day when she starts reading and we can explore even more of the details together. Definitely worth the price and a great educational book that can grow with your child. Review: Great for ages 6-10ish - Amazing art + real world photo visuals, very simple text info. As a teacher reviewing educational books for potential use in my own classes, this book seemed to be best for ages 6-10ish, or 1st-5th grades. Some of the photos and animal/insect choices were genuinely incredible, using their vibrant colors and shapes to inspire kids to appreciate/explore our natural world.

Fun read before bed
Love this book. It lightens the mood and gets my daughter thinking. We typically read the questions together and then talk about possible answers before I read the explanations. I learn from it too!

More appropriate for kids older than 6
I bought this for my almost 5 year old but I feel like a 7 or 8 year old would enjoy it more.
