Really Cool Book for kids getting into learning "EVERYTHING":
I bought this book because my son LOVES costumes and this includes four pages of historical costumes. I was quite surprised at what a cool book this is. I found it originally on a baby/kid boutique website, but knew Amazon would have it at a better price! I was right! It is 30+ pages of beautifully illustrated pictures of well, "almost everything" The one thing I was surprised they didn't mention in reviews is that the two pages of human body parts includes a full color illustration of a man and woman including not "almost everything" but everything. But, it is human anatomy, so I don't have a problem with it. I will definately be getting the zoo-ology book by Jolivet and will probably give it as a gift to somebody in the future. It's really cool! IT'S A HUGE BOOK TOO! Almost 20 inches tall and 1 foot wide.
high quality printed art for all ages:
This is an astonishingly high quality printed art book in brilliant colors, at an inexplicably low price. A mix of retro, arts & crafts, stylized pictures in great colors. We bought one to cut out the pictures and make collages out of them. Does anyone know about this artist's background?
Great illustrations:
The illustrations and subjects covered are wonderful. There are illustrations of a naked man and woman that are non-sexual, but they caused quite a stir with my 6 year old. I would only recommend for mature children.
another gorgeous work by Joelle Jolivet:
1st off, most parents will want to know that, yes, there is nudity (on The Human Body pages) & partial nudity (on the Costumes of the World pages) So if you have a problem with those, don't buy this book. However, if you love gorgeous woodcuts, beautiful colors, good art, and pictures crammed with details and variety, this is a book for you. Anyone who liked Richard Scarry as a young child will love this, as well - loads of pictures & all labeled! & in the back of the book is even more information on everything pictured. I bought this to go with our copies of Zoo-ology & 365 Penguins.
