The Big Book of Beasts

i’ve purchased a few of these as gifts for my sons friends. They are colourful, great quality, beautiful illustrations and really informative. Highly recommend this series of beautiful books.

All sorts of interesting facts and beautiful illustrations about our present day companions and their ice age ancestors. My six year old grandson devours and retains such knowledge. I can still devour, but retaining is a bit more tricky, nevertheless I too found this a fascinating book. Packed with information about the animal world it is definately educational in an entertaining, but non lecturing way. I realy enjoy the mutual pleasure we derive from this excellent book. PS so good that when offered another free from the Vine programme I grabbed it for my other grandson. He also loves it

Arrived promptly and was seized upon by the young recipient. Attractively presented and full of fascinating information.

This book is beyond fabulous. The pictures, mostly on a double-page spread, are so engaging, the creatures are well chosen and the facts are VERY interesting but not too tricky to read. This is ideal for my 9-year-old grandson but would be accessible to a much younger child and definitely interesting to older children. I have quite a wide general knowledge but this book had me captivated with new facts. Can a bat stand on its own two legs?! And what on earth is a Binturong?! Loved it.

My grandson loves this book

My son is 4 and he loves this book. Great quality and lovely illustrations. He reads it over and over again.

The plot had so many twists. Every time I thought I finally knew who the murderer was, something would suddenly change, and I would have to build up my theory all over again

I can not get enough of 'The Big Book of...' they are all fantastic. Wonderful facts wrapped in fantastic illustrations. They are suitable for all ages and are books that you would keep coming back to.
