Wonder: The Natural History Museum Poetry Book

offers a cornucopia of words about bugs, birds, fossils, fish, plants, people and dinosaurs, of course. Marketed for children, it’s a wonderful, varied collection for all ages – Bel Mooney * Mail Online *
this gorgeously illustrated anthology covers everything from oceans and rivers to fossils. * Red magazine *
it’s as awe-inspiring and thoughtful as you’d hope * Indybest *
The book is a celebration of our planet and the natural world, and there’s plenty here to inspire children (and adults) to do all that we can to keep it safe, with Gerard Benson’s “A Small Star” and Pascale Petit’s “#ExtinctionRebellion” providing great talking points with our older readers about climate change and what we can all do to help make a difference. – Sarah Dawson * The Independent *
I can’t recommend this collection highly enough and will be sharing with colleagues in school as well as suggesting it as a read for our teacher book groups. A WONDERful book! * ReadingZone *
the book is a wonder indeed, the poetry giving a genuine sense of the magnificence of the museum’s collections; it’s surprising, inspiring, eye-opening. * Books For Keeps *
