Reviews
Packed with fantastic colour illustrations and intriguing facts, this beautiful gift book is a must-have for gaming fans of every age.Pam Norfolk, Lancashire Evening Post
Information is presented in accessible chunks that are clearly explained. There are some stunning illustrations - my favourites are the axolotl, the roly-poly Baikal seals, the sleeping bears and the macaque monkeys! The pages are well designed with a variety of techniques that help engage interest such as headings, sub-headings, maps, diagrams and postcards. Colours of the World informs and creates a sense of awe about the natural world. This is a book that can be read alone, or shared. It is ideal for dipping into. Highly recommended for anyone aged 5 and over.Armadillo Magazine
