The Amazing World of Animals is a really lovely book. There are perforations around all of the illustrations, so you can press out around the images so they really stand out. The Amazing World of Animals is illustrated by Stuart Martin. Each illustration is beautifully detailed and the creatures on the pages really stand out and grab your attention.

Written by Moira Butterworth, The Amazing World of Animals is packed with animal facts; including their size, what they eat, lifespan and conservation status. There’s also a map of where they live and some did you know style facts.

Each page is filled with facts and information about each creature. For example, did you know that the Emperor penguin can dive as deep as 550 metres below the surface of the Antarctic sea and they can hold their breath for over 20 minutes. No? Me neither

The Awesome World of Animals is aimed at children aged 7+. It’s a really colourful, interesting, engaging reference books for children, right into their early teens. The facts are pitched at just the right level and the language used is fine for a good reader aged 7, but not too simple so that a teenager can enjoy reading it.

Book Review: Paperscapes – The Fearsome World of Dinosaurs

Last week we reviewed The Incredible World of Bugs, a Paperscapes books from Carlton Books. This week we are taking a look at Paperscapes – The Fearsome World of Dinosaurs. The Paperscapes books are beautiful hardback books, filled with die-cut illustrations and facts and information about dinosaurs.

Meet some of the most incredible creatures to have ever walked the Earth! From leggy leaf-eaters to reptiles that rule the skies, mean killing machines to creatures with musical crests, you’ll discover a new beast with every turn of the page.

Beautifully illustrated by Stuart Martin and Clare Baggaley, each intricately detailed dinosaur illustration has perforations around it, so you can carefully press out the blank surrounds. This makes the dinosaurs really stand out on the page and it turns a seemingly normal book into a work of art.

Paperscapes – The Fearsome World of Dinosaurs

Written by Pat Jacobs, The Fearsome World of Dinosaurs is packed with dino facts, including where they lived, their size, what they ate and what their name means. There’s also a map of where they lived and some did you know style facts.

The Fearsome World of Dinosaurs is aimed at children aged 7+; but I think it would appeal to dino loving children right into their early teens. The facts are pitched at just the right level and the language used is fine for a good reader aged 7 and not too simple so that a teenager can enjoy reading it. It’s packed with facts and my 8 year old positively devoured it. It’s exactly his kind of book, and we all know how much he loves dinosaurs!

Paperscapes - The Incredible World of Bugs

The Paperscapes books are beautiful hardback books, each page is filled with details about insects and each of the die-cut pages is an artwork in itself. Each insect has perforations around it, meaning you can carefully press out the surrounds, revealing the insects and helping them to really stand out.

The illustrations in The Incredible World of Bugs are just beautiful. They’re full of detail and make even the creepiest of crawlies into something special. Each insect featured in the book has two pages of accompanying information which includes their size, what they eat, lifespan, how dangerous they are and what their conservation status is. Each entry also gives a details description of the insect and a number of “did you know” style facts.
