Tim A.: Decent quality.

katie: I like the Over and Under series. My personal favorite is the back portion that tells you about each animal in the story. This one feels like there's maybe less variation in the creatures mentioned, but I didn't actually count them. The colors are all of similar scheme, but I realize it's going for a somewhat realistic look so that's fair. I still enjoyed the book with my daughter

dijit: The adults like this series as much if not more than the kids. It's a lovely book as are the others in the series.

AmosTrue: My 2-year-old is fascinated by this book. It really reinforces his interest in nature. We were able to take him to a real pond and show him the insects skimming on the surface and the frogs, fish, and turtles, and he was already familiar with them through this book. I can't wait to get him the book about life under the snow from the same series this winter.

Nicole McCurdy: Wow! It’s been awhile since I came across a book that is jaw dropping amazing! One of those books that is worth splurging on the hard cover since it feels like a piece of art and will also require the durability since it will be enjoyed many times. It is filled with tons of information without feeling like a non-fiction book. You will find your hand gliding over the artwork in captivation of the peaceful scenes. It almost feels magical and will touch you on a deeper level than expected. You won’t regret this purchase!!

Gastarbeiter: This book is first-rate: the illustrations are gorgeous, and the text is a delight for kids who love language and love to learn specific names for all the things in the world around them. It's a kid protagonist's delightfully slow-paced observation of the details of the world around him. Since there isn't much of a plot, I was worried that my daughter would lose interest in the book, but we've had the book for two years (started reading it to her when she turned 3) and she loved it when she got it and still enjoys coming back to it from time to time. It's not a bedtime book per se, but the book's pacing makes it perfect for winding down.
