What They're Saying

Critics Review

Beautifully detailed, endlessly engaging and effortlessly readable.Every page invites you to slow down, look closer, and notice something new.As both a book lover and a teacher, this is the kind of non-fiction I’m always searching for. The kind that sparks curiosity and stays with you long after you’ve closed it.

– Alex Puddick * @father_teacher_reader *Shapes of Nature stands out from the crowd. Hands down the most remarkable thing about this book is the ingeniously creative layout. – Ben Biggs * How it Works *This is a book that has been carefully and thoughtfully created to inform, educate and inspire. It will fascinate children and encourage them to understand and appreciate the natural world and to learn even more about it. The final topic is gemstones, which is entirely fitting, as this a gem from start to finish. – Matthew Martin * Books for Keeps *

Shapes of Nature: A Kaleidoscope of the Natural World feels more like a cabinet of curiosities than a traditional book…It’s officially aimed at readers aged nine and over, but there’s plenty here to engage kids of any age, especially if you’re looking for distractions over the Easter holidays

– Lucy Bannerman * The Times *
