The graphics are exquisite!

This non-fiction about the incredible animals in the world seems like a fairy tale. Beautifully written and full of simple, fun activities for kids to do to appreciate the world around them

🗺 Another Wondeful Wild World book, this time taking us on a fantastic discovery tour of creatures!


🗺 The way this book is organised is so pleasing and logical. Each chapter is dedicated to a particular class of creatures, such as ocean creatures, insects and birds. Each chapter then contains biographies, natural wonders, field trip ideas, ways people are helping animals, an animal and then then suggestions on how you can help animals at a personal, local and global level. There’s even a chapter for young people living in cities.

🗺 The book is so easy to navigate and so full of absolutely fascinating and inspirational people, I particularly loved that the Irwin family were included.

🗺The illustrations are factual and simple yet breathtakingly beautiful and help bring the stories and activities to life. I have ended up purchasing a hard copy as I’m so very impressed with this book.

I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed this book - it definitely surpassed my expectations for a book about animals! It sets the standard for what fact books should be - this is inspiring, educational and fascinating. What a wonderful book to give as a gift to a child! Parents and educators will learn so much from this too!

Split into 7 different categories (insects, birds, reptiles & amphibians, land animals, ocean creatures, freshwater life, and city wildlife), each section included biographies of significant people in that area, a natural wonder, a story about an animal, ways people are helping, a field trip, how people can help, and an activity. The mixture of information presented was really interesting and different to other books I've seen in this category.

I would highly recommend this for any child (or adult!)

The Wild World Handbook: Creatures is a gorgeously illustrated and well-organized reference title that has broken down fauna into 7 different categories: insects, birds, reptiles & amphibians, land animals, ocean creatures, freshwater life, and city wildlife. Each category includes 2 biographies of significant people in that area, a natural wonder, a story about an animal, ways people are helping, a field trip, how people can help, and an activity. The content is informative but also designed to increase children's curiosity and generate interest.

Andrea Debbink had done a good job, so is Asia Orlando. It's an astonishing handbook in all aspects. Every piece of information was so clear and direct. It's fun and bright. It is just so luxurious that with this book on hand it can take you everywhere and make it so easy for you to do more digging.

To top it all, it's incredibly inspirational. Going into the brief life stories of those impressive human beings just give us all a push that with dedication, passion, determination and strong-willed to give something beneficial to the world, prove to be a starting point for many awesome continuations and found that we can see today.

Thank you so much to the publisher and Netgalley for providing an advance reading copy. Editor, please take note of the year of death on page 40. It should be September 22, 1948, not September 22, 1848.

I absolutely loved this book and learned quite a bit in the process of reading it! I also loved the illustrations and I think kids of all ages will too.

Divided into seven categories of creatures, the Wild World Handbook is packed full of information for learners of all ages. Each section contains biographies of individuals influential in that field, DIY activities, field trip ideas, action points for making a difference, and more! And there are facts and information to keep kids learning for a long, long time.

This handbook is broken up in a way that makes sense and keeps the reader engaged. Flowing from facts to biographies to action points, it kept me wanting to search out more and keep learning. The activities were do-able and the information was interesting without being overwhelming. I learned so much reading through this one and I know my kids will love it as well. This would make a nice addition to any homeschool or a wonderful gift for animal lovers.

A wonderful book jam packed with enough facts and information to keep even the most voracious non fiction reader satisfied. Well presented and clearly labelled pages enable many ages to access this book. It would make a great gift for a nature loving child.

This is an excellent book! I know for sure that besides children, adults will enjoy it immensely. The information is easy to digest, and the illustrations are lovely. Lovely work!

This is a wonderful book and I'm so grateful for the ARC. O had seen this on someone's Twitter feed and knew I was going to enjoy it.
A wonderful non-fiction book about creatures from around the world. Beautifully presented with loads of interesting facts.
This would be very popular in the classroom. A must buy!

So much information jam-packed into a book! Whether you want to know about wildlife,the wildlife movers and shakers or you want to follow a project to protect the environment - this book is for you!

This book is lovely. It is well drawn and informative and the little activity sections are brilliant. This is perfect for the classroom and library.

I love this book! Children are naturally curious, and this books shows them how wondering and collecting can lead to discoveries. Many scientists are introduced to the readers as children whose interests lead to careers. There is also a lot of great vocabulary.

This book talks about insects, birds, reptiles and amphibians, land animals, ocean creatures, freshwater life and city wildlife. Each chapter includes general information, fun facts, a historical figure pertinent to the study of the animal, preservation and protection tips, and an activity that encourages children to expand on what they’ve learned by safely exploring, observing and documenting the world around them.

I thought this was a great educational tool. The information is presented in a way that children should find engaging and be capable of understanding. This books talks about how climate change and environmental threats like deforestation can seem overwhelming, but people working together with their unique skills and creativity can help solve these problems. By taking care of animals and their habitats we also take care of ourselves. I especially appreciated the tip on how to make windows “bird safe”. I can hear birds flying into my classroom windows rather frequently, and now I know an easy fix.

The only suggestion I have for improving this handbook would be the illustrations. I thought some of them were very nice and others seemed rushed and unfinished. A simple line drawing can be effective, but it needs to be clean. Some of the line drawings in this book had pixelated and blurry edges.

What a glorious book! The illustrations alone are stunning and should make every reader pause to enjoy them.
I love the mix of facts, information, inspirational biographies, and linked activities. There is so much to do with this book. It is one to dip in and out of as there is lots to learn but it is also a book that encourages the reader to go and explore and try hands on activities that I know many children will want to go off and attempt.

The book has 7 sections and they have been carefully planned so that there is definitely something for everyone. I thought the section on City Wildlife was truly inspired as this is not a natural area to explore and link to nature but it ensures that no matter where children live, they are able to relate to this book!
