Critics Review
This book would make an excellent class read-aloud… A perfect gift for those children who love stories about nature and a welcome addition to a home, school or public library. * Read Plus *
This is a lovely book for bedtime shares. It will spark imagination and wonder. Its beautiful and warming.
The stunning illustrations by Aitch will have you running your hands over the pages. Deep colours and whimsical creatures add to the vibrancy of the stories. And they’re there with every page turn, bringing a special magic to this storytelling experience.
With a lovely thick hard cover, the book is one to last the test of time. It’s textured and speckled with gold — hard to walk by without reaching for it.
Once Upon Our Planet will bring special moments into your life. If you’re looking for something unique to share with your kids, this one is for you.
This is a handsome, hardcover volume with a sumptuous gold-embossed cover. The vibrant illustrations throughout enhance the written text and the layout is attractive with illustrations forming full pages, borders or are interspersed amongst a page of text. This is the sort of book which can be read right through, dipped into to read individual stories, used as a read-aloud and used as a discussion starter on the important messages it contains. * CBCA: Reading Time *
