Kids and parents alike will one to read these books over and over again while viewing the GORGEOUS photographs.

These editions include: author’s note, stunning full-color photographs, glossary, index and additional reading sources. Sure, my girls enjoy when I read these books to them but I will often find them alone just browsing the pages without reading because they enjoy the photos that much. This book series is one not to be missed!
