Wow。 You know when you think you know what a book is about， but you're like "there's no way， that's just my hopes and dreams" but then IT IS THAT BOOK？？？ That's what I felt with the stunning book。 I was blown away every page。 Wow。 You know when you think you know what a book is about， but you're like "there's no way， that's just my hopes and dreams" but then IT IS THAT BOOK？？？ That's what I felt with the stunning book。 I was blown away every page。 。。。more

I didn't read every word but this book was so cool。 Such a good resource for anyone。 Seriously thinking about adding this to my library as it encourages learning with fun pictures， interesting facts， and a list of further reading （including fiction and non fiction about nature）。 I will be reading her other books in this series。 I didn't read every word but this book was so cool。 Such a good resource for anyone。 Seriously thinking about adding this to my library as it encourages learning with fun pictures， interesting facts， and a list of further reading （including fiction and non fiction about nature）。 I will be reading her other books in this series。 。。。more

I love this book！ It has beautiful illustrations， and facts that all ages can encounter for the first time！ It also talked about many of my special interests， and the things I teach to my students， so that’s also a huge plus！ If I ever am teaching in a classroom again， I’ll be sure to get a copy。 I enjoyed learning about wildlife around the whole of the United States， rather than just the Pacific Coast where I live。 I actually learned quite a bit！ A beautiful book！ 5 stars。

This book covered an overview on many different studies of nature。 Nothing was too in-depth but the beautiful illustrations are eye catching and may tempt you to discover more about a certain subject。 The information the author included with each graphic varied drastically， and a large portion of the text was in a hand written cursive font。 That font wasn’t always easy to read and was inconsistent。 If you can’t read cursive， find another resource！

Okul çağında ve doğaya meraklı çocukların çok seveceğini düşündüğüm bir kitap。 Ben okuyup incelerken 4 yaşındaki kızımın da dikkatini çekti görselleri。 Serinin diğer kitaplarını da merak ediyorum。

I love this book so much！ The art is so great。 It communicates so many interesting ideas about nature。 This is a rare book that is fun for both adults and kids。

A whimsical book with illustrations that appeal to a wide variety of people。 Text is difficult to read at times simply because it's in the author's cursive。 That's something to keep in mind if you have younger children that are going to look at this book independently。 A whimsical book with illustrations that appeal to a wide variety of people。 Text is difficult to read at times simply because it's in the author's cursive。 That's something to keep in mind if you have younger children that are going to look at this book independently。 。。。more

A great entry point to the planet， from rocks to the phases of the moon to flora and fauna。 Illustrated beautifully， this is the perfect book I needed to get ideas about worldbuilding in my current project。 It's by no means exhaustive， but rather a great sampling of earthlings that showcases the common elements and diversity of life all at once。 Specific creatures as well as general life cycles， body schemes， habitats are showcased。 Recommended as a broad overview to get ideas and introduce youn A great entry point to the planet， from rocks to the phases of the moon to flora and fauna。 Illustrated beautifully， this is the perfect book I needed to get ideas about worldbuilding in my current project。 It's by no means exhaustive， but rather a great sampling of earthlings that showcases the common elements and diversity of life all at once。 Specific creatures as well as general life cycles， body schemes， habitats are showcased。 Recommended as a broad overview to get ideas and introduce younger readers to the planet。 。。。more

This is an excellent book。 It will remain a family reference book for years to come。

Lena ，

Oversimplified in text and visuals， factually incorrect at times， and not the best way to really learn and get excited about nature and its living things。 Maybe for children， but for those it is even more important just to take them outside， give them an insect net or handlens and just look at things。 This book is not helpful to learn more than the most shallow， random facts about nature。

Becca ，

Beautiful illustrations， great book

This book sits in the perfect intersection of my favorite things: taxonomy， diagrams， labels， illustration， nature。 It's a reference book as important as a dictionary。 This book sits in the perfect intersection of my favorite things: taxonomy， diagrams， labels， illustration， nature。 It's a reference book as important as a dictionary。 。。。more

This book is absolutely lovely to look through particularly with children。 It brings up all kinds of curiosity and questions！

This is the second Julia Rothman book I've read， and while I enjoyed it， it wasn't as interesting to me as Food Anatomy， the first book of hers I read。 Her illustrations are wonderful， but in choosing such a large topic everything that was touched upon was incredibly surface level。 I didn't feel like I came away from this learning anything。 I probably would have loved this book when I was a child， but as an adult I found it unsatisfying。 That said， when there's a coup going on and you need somet This is the second Julia Rothman book I've read， and while I enjoyed it， it wasn't as interesting to me as Food Anatomy， the first book of hers I read。 Her illustrations are wonderful， but in choosing such a large topic everything that was touched upon was incredibly surface level。 I didn't feel like I came away from this learning anything。 I probably would have loved this book when I was a child， but as an adult I found it unsatisfying。 That said， when there's a coup going on and you need something easy to read that will provide a comforting distraction to insurrection， this isn't a bad choice。 。。。more

Lots of things I had learned in science classes but had forgotten， as well as a lot of other new and interesting facts， all brought to life with fun illustrations。

Libraryanne ，

This book has gorgeous illustrations。 I read it cover to cover， and enjoyed all of the interesting and random facts about the natural world。 It will be a great one to have around for my kids to dip into。

Karen ，

I am going to purchase this book as well as Ocean Anatomy。 I want to have them as a quick resource and I want to share them with my grandchildren to stimulate even more interest in the details of the natural world。

Great substitute if you're jonesing to page through something like a national geographic or introduce your kid to something more relevant than the back of a cereal box。 Wish the bibliography was more extensive and annotated at a page level。 Wish there was more of an indication of geographic range for depictions or even different versions of the book for different parts of the world。。。 But love how simple this work is and realize my wishes might work at cross purpose with that。 Great substitute if you're jonesing to page through something like a national geographic or introduce your kid to something more relevant than the back of a cereal box。 Wish the bibliography was more extensive and annotated at a page level。 Wish there was more of an indication of geographic range for depictions or even different versions of the book for different parts of the world。。。 But love how simple this work is and realize my wishes might work at cross purpose with that。 。。。more

My daughter and I love these books！！！！

My favorite book about nature so far。 My son has plenty of books about nature and animals but this was by far the best book we have read together。 I learnt a lot from this book too so it is not just for kids。 Beautiful illustrations and sketches。

read as a library book but will be buying this one

Beautifully written and illustrated。 There is not so much a scientific guide that gives one information about individual creatures， but a book filled with fun facts and beautiful illustrations that were painted with gouache。 This is a book that should be rewritten in a kids format， in which I would certainly buy for all the little tykes in my life teaching them about the natural world and conservation。 Overall I highly recommend reading （more of a picture book however） and enjoy the wide variety Beautifully written and illustrated。 There is not so much a scientific guide that gives one information about individual creatures， but a book filled with fun facts and beautiful illustrations that were painted with gouache。 This is a book that should be rewritten in a kids format， in which I would certainly buy for all the little tykes in my life teaching them about the natural world and conservation。 Overall I highly recommend reading （more of a picture book however） and enjoy the wide variety of great topics （clouds， stars， along with land and marine life） that Julia Rothman beautifully illustrated。 。。。more

Rothman is a very talented illustrator and here she uses that skill to explore the natural world with whimsical， lovely drawings and simple， clear explanations that even science averse students like me can understand and actually enjoy！ It is a very surface level book about birds and fish and trees， etc。， but the illustrations are lovely。 Side note: Some of the written parts are in cursive in case there are younger readers who may not be familiar with that writing style。

I came across Julia Rothman being stuck at home for months on end with a tween and a teen。 While relatives have sent me books and punch needle supplies， my husband puzzles， and my daughter paints and canvases， my son has been harder to figure out。 I mean， he could just play video games straight from March through whenever this pandemic ends， but that would not be wise。 We have tried models， books （which actually does work， but only for the required hour per day）， sketchbooks， and then sigh and k I came across Julia Rothman being stuck at home for months on end with a tween and a teen。 While relatives have sent me books and punch needle supplies， my husband puzzles， and my daughter paints and canvases， my son has been harder to figure out。 I mean， he could just play video games straight from March through whenever this pandemic ends， but that would not be wise。 We have tried models， books （which actually does work， but only for the required hour per day）， sketchbooks， and then sigh and kick him out the door to play by himself in the neighborhood， a sad figure with a net， on a bike， donning a mask。 （Geocaching and hiking have also worked， but not in a constant stream and not actually in our house。） When I saw Ocean Anatomy and Nature Anatomy pop up on one of my frequent romps through Amazon， I thought perhaps they could draw his attention in a way that only National Geographic Kids has done。 Then， when I realized Food Anatomy was a thing， too， I threw caution to the wind and spent my allowance on a copy。 And some nail polish。For sure， these are “extra” books。 For the most part， they fit in the category of coffee table books， or maybe even bathroom books。 They would be fun to leave out at a rental house。 The illustrations are great。 I appreciate both Rothman’s ability and her style。 How can I describe the style？ Vintage， domestic cartoon？ Ink and watercolor？ They’re not surprising; technically I could do them， myself。 （Actually， now that I think about it， my illustration style is similar。） But they do have a nice， warm feel to them。 They’re meant to by cute and a little funny。 And coupled with all the bits and bobs of nature/food facts， these books are nice ones to have around。Would you sit down and read them （asks the woman who reads cookbooks cover to cover）？ Most likely not， though I have been reading Food Anatomy in spurts， before bed。 I am using a bookmark。 Would you reference them？ You definitely could， though you wouldn’t find a depth of information as much as a few things to fill in an information gap， such as Short Order Egg Lingo or Parts of a Whale。 In other words， these books aren’t comprehensive， they’re interesting and fun。 It occurs to me that these books would be great on home school shelves and also on children’s books shelves。 Not meant to be like Richard Scarry， they sort of are， anyhow。 I could really imagine a grown up snuggled up with a kid and turning the pages， chatting and learning together。You know what else they might be good for？ As gifts for people who have everything （or at least everything they need）。 Well， anyway， if they have an interest in nature， marine biology， farms， or food。 Because the series， so far， （packaged before Ocean as The Julie Rothman Collection） is:Nature AnatomyOcean AnatomyFood AnatomyFarm AnatomyMore books by or illustrated by Rothman:Brick， Who Found Herself in Architecture （illustrator， picture book）Hello， NYCan I Eat That？ （illustrator）What’s Cooking？ （illustrator）Ladies Drawing NightDrawn In （contributing artist）The Where， the Why and the How （contributing illustrator）The Who， The What and the When （contributing illustrator）The Exquisite Book （collaboration with nine other artists）When Strangers Meet （illustrator）Design Sponge at Home （illustrator）Past & Present （illustrator）Book By Its Cover （blog）I am most interested in checking out Ladies Drawing Night， Drawn In， The Where the Why and the How， The Who the What and the When， and possibly The Exquisite Book。 Rothman’s books really vary in topic， but many of them revolve around art and even the artistic process。 Rothman is also big on doing and even spearheading projects with other artists。 She definitely seems like one to follow， if you find that sort of thing enjoyable。 I do。And I’ll be keeping Food Anatomy on a shelf in the kitchen， once I’m done “reading” it。***REVIEW WRITTEN FOR THE STARVING ARTIST BLOG*** 。。。more

The information by each illustration is short so I would consider this book a good introduction to everything that is related to nature。 It's easy to read and you get a bit of information about everything （animals， the ecosystem， flowers， weather etc。） and the illustrations are beautiful！ I would definitely recommend this if you're interested in nature， it's a good starter。 The information by each illustration is short so I would consider this book a good introduction to everything that is related to nature。 It's easy to read and you get a bit of information about everything （animals， the ecosystem， flowers， weather etc。） and the illustrations are beautiful！ I would definitely recommend this if you're interested in nature， it's a good starter。 。。。more

This is a lovely illustrated book with a general overview and facts about nature （astronomy， geology， botany， entomology， etc。）。 I already knew at least 80% of the information in this book， and the other 20% I mostly knew but just couldn't remember （like parts of a flower or identifying fish）。 I think this book would be great for someone wanting to dip their toes into nature knowledge， for kids， or for any nature lover who just wants to enjoy the artwork。 This is a lovely illustrated book with a general overview and facts about nature （astronomy， geology， botany， entomology， etc。）。 I already knew at least 80% of the information in this book， and the other 20% I mostly knew but just couldn't remember （like parts of a flower or identifying fish）。 I think this book would be great for someone wanting to dip their toes into nature knowledge， for kids， or for any nature lover who just wants to enjoy the artwork。 。。。more

Quick and interesting facts about nature， accompanied by simple but useful illustrations。 I found the birds section too long， but I enjoyed all the other sections。 Loved the fun facts they chose to include！
