Wild Animals of the North

My love affair with gorgeous, fact-heavy, oversized picture books continues with this beautiful new item. Braun's portraits of fauna from across the Northern Hemisphere go beyond the usual (you'll learn about the mouflon and the saiga as well as the puffin and polar bear); they have some of Charley Harper's geometrical verve, but carry a sense of movement and life all their own. Expect your breath to be taken. (Ages 3 and up)
