Review: Great book with a wealth of information - Bought this for my niece as a gift. She loves plants and flowers and this book has a wealth of information and facts about the subject. I found myself reading through it because it was so interesting. She is going to be 9 years old soon and this book is for all ages (from kids to adults). Each page is filled with colorful pictures and information on specific plants, flowers, and trees that grow and thrive in different environments. She will love it! Review: Really cool book - Bought this for my seven year-old, and it’s got great illustrations and awesome facts. It’s a really beautifully made book.

Beautiful picture book with unique facts - not just for kids
They claim this book is for children but I think it is great for adults too. If you've had botany, it's a great refresher with gorgeous pictures. It is a beautiful book. I bought a second one as a gift for a friend who loves to garden.

Wonderful Book!
We bought this book for my 82 year old mother-in-law for Mother’s Day and she absolutely loves it for two reasons it has great pictures and a great description under the picture she will sit for hours looking at the book. She worked in a flower shop in Maryland for many years when she was younger.

Awesome book-
A absolutely beautiful book! Sooo much good information and the pictures awesome- I got a copy for my son and family for Christmas and they felt the same way- They live in a rural type setting now and gardening important to them- This book goes beyond just gardening- I would give more stars if I could-

Not particularly engaging for my kids.
Bought this book to spark my boys interest in plants. The printing and illustrations are indeed beautiful, and it’s packed with fascinating facts. However, it didn’t really capture my child’s attention as I had hoped. After a few looks, it hasn’t been picked up again. A visually impressive book, but not particularly engaging for my boys.

Maravilhoso livro para pesquisa e consulta!
Imagens lindíssimas e explicações sucintas. Ótimo material de apoio para estudo das plantas. Estou usando com meus filhos de 5 e 8 anos e eles amam! A linguagem e simples de entender e cativante, eles estão super interessados.

Really awesome book!!
My 4 year old loves plants and he spends ages going through the pages looking at the pictures and asking questions. I learned a few things from this book too. Highly recommended.

Great photos
This book is full of photos and really great for young and old. Probably aimed for older children I found this a boon studying for horticulture with well depicted explanations at a level I could absorb and understand.

Helpful reference in teaching botany
This is a well structured book about trees, leaves, flowers, and seeds. Photos are stunning and my homeschooled children easily choose a topic they want to dive deeper just by picking one of the eye catching pictures. Highly recommend it for botany studies.

Another great encyclopedia from DK & Smithsonian
Over years we have bought a lot of these visual encyclopedias from the DK-Smithsonian and/or DK line ups. Every single one of them was great. This one is not exception. A lot of great photos, helpful depictions, info, helps kids engaged through a book, rather than via a screen.
