I am absolutely blown away by this visual encyclopedia. It brought back the nostalgia of getting the "Readers Almanac" at the Scholastic Book Fair each year and pouring through it, hoping to take in as much of the most obscure info I could find.

I challenge readers to come up with a plant or fungi that ISN'T covered in this; to call this encyclopedia expansive would be an understatement. And thanks to the pictures, the information actually feels accessible despite the little to no background knowledge I have on the topic. Even if you don't care to read the information, the pictures alone are worth purchasing this book - heck, just use it as a coffee table book!

Amazing. I havent made my way through this as it is massive but from what I have read so far is amazing. The best thing I can compare this to is a college text book dedicated to only plants and fungus. It breaks everything down and the amount of information is astounding. My littles and I love learning about nature and anything to do with biology. This is not something we would sit down and read all the way through, but reference it from time to time as we mushroom hunt and read it every so often just to gain knowledge.

This is perfect for anyone who is interested in the way that plants and fungus works and identifying them as my family is. The photos really help to keep them engaged and helps with their understanding.

Thank you NetGalley, and DK for allowing me to review.
