Reviews

Wonderfully informative, beautifully designed... Pack[ed] with wide-ranging yet pertinent information. The detailed, colorful illustrations enhance and augment the informative yet playful text and interactive nature of the book's design: a quarter-circle format that opens into a hemisphere with several gatefolds that open into full circles.-- "Shelf Awareness (starred review)"
