Amazing Plants of the World by Stepanka Sekaninova is a beautiful and interesting introduction to rare plants. I love gardening and this book offered me the opportunity to get my child interested in plants, too. The artwork is so bold and colorful, which really helped keep my little one (and me!) engaged. It was an interesting and informative book that we could both learn from, and it was just as enjoyable for adults as for the kids. Would definitely recommend it to other parents!

Interesting read, the perfect book for any plant obssesed parent that wants to share the wonderful world of plants with their children.

Thank you NetGalley and Stepanka Sekaninova for this eARC.

First I must say we haven’t finished but both my kids have adored learning all about exotic plants and the illustrations are super cute. We will continue learning about a few plants a night until we are done. Very entertaining.

I love old Victorian botany books with the journal sketches of flowers in them, and this feels like a modern day version of one of those! It has a fun and upbeat narration to guide the reader through the garden which is informative but spunky and entertaining enough to keep kids interested. The illustrations of the plants are great and a good mix of realistic and fantastical. Really enjoyable!

Thank you to netgalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review!

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for honest feedback. The book has some really interesting content, particularly the illustrations. I am not familiar with the style, but I think they were really cool. This book follows a botanical garden with fantastical plants. They belong to a passionate botanist who spends all this time in the company of his flowers. He tells the reader of the characteristics and facets of his different wacky and unique plants. My favorite was the "dancing girl impatiens" on page 35. Overall, I think this book is fun, unique, a bit specific in its aims. My only critique would be that I would rather have a different font OR some more space broken up on the page. Text is a bit compressed onto the page imo.
