Description

Our world is full of wonderful animals. From the brightly coloured mandrills in the rainforests of Africa to the majestic humpback whales in the icy waters of the Antarctic. Through his beautiful and colourful illustrations, readers will be dazzled by the giraffes and elephants in Africa, koalas and kangaroos in Australia, huge blue whales in the open oceans, and many more! These animals, some endangered, remind us that nature is incredible, and that we need its diversity more than ever.

The book draws you in and transports you straight to the different environments (.) the detail on every page could be looked at and admired for hours.

This book is an absolute wonderland of wild animals. It would make the most exquisite gift to any young animal enthusiast and is the ultimate addition to any young reader's non-fiction book shelf.
I could literally frame every page with Dieter Braun's fabulous illustrations.
Beautifully angular artwork and vibrantly bold designs make for an engaging read.
Magnificent art takes the forefront in an awe-inspiring introduction to an array of creatures great and small of the land, sea and air.
Braun produces page after page of beautiful illustrations that really stand out thanks to their vivid colours. From the start to the finish, the book does a brilliant job of making pages seem friendly and alluring instead of over saturated. This will be an excellent addition to any school or class library.
This is a wonderful reference book for those interested in animals or for wildlife projects at home or school. Also just a fascinating book to read through to learn more about these animals, or simply to enjoy the artwork!
Wild Animals of the World is a coffee table for kids. Stunning illustrations alongside short descriptions make this one to sit and flick together, or for mindfulness as you relax and look at the images.
This stunning book would make a wonderful gift and a brilliant learning resource for animal lovers. It's also an important reminder of just how incredible nature is, and how we need to protect the diversity of the animal kingdom.
This is one of the most incredible visually pleasing books I've seen released this year.
Full of the most sumptuous illustrations and short snippets of information about a vast array of animals from around the world.
A beautifully illustrated book, the perfect gift for any animal lover. The index allows animal specific information to be quickly located; however, for some, there are only a named illustration rather than additional text. This lends itself perfectly to further research where children could write their own entry for these animals, using Braun's text as a model.
If you appreciate a beautifully illustrated book, this needs to go to the top of your list. There is so much emotion in each illustration, every animal is brought fantastically to life.
This incredible non-fiction brings to life the power, colour and strength of the creatures we share our plant with (.) both equally a fascinating read as well as meditative. * @Bookbairn on Instagram *
Quite possibly one of the most beautifully illustrated animal books I have ever seen.
