Beautiful pictures though

I wasn't aware that the calendar was in other languages. I wanted it to mainly be in English. Beautiful pictures though!

I needed some reference material for a mural that I am doing for my sons nursery.  I came across this book on Amazon and figured I'd give it a shot, after reading the reviews.  The pics are wonderful and simply beautiful.  It's amazing to get to see some of the animals, plants and insects that we would otherwise never get the opportunity to see.
My only complaint, if you want to call it that, was that my book did not come w/ a cd that the other reviews talk about.  I don't know if it's because I bought the soft cover?? but none the less, I was dissapointed about that.  I was looking forward to listening to it, while painting and then playing it for my son once he's in his room.  I guess I can't complain too much, since it wasn't in the official description on the site.

My only complaint is that I wish I would've been able to look through this first before I bought it!  Some of the pictures are a little intense for some kiddos.

The pictures in this book are beautiful, but I will probably be reselling it on Amazon because it is just like looking at a coffee table book. Once through, and you're done. There are so few really good polymer clay books (The Art of Polymer Clay being one of them), and this one is not one of them. The photography is impressive, the designs are beautiful and innovative, but if you're looking for a book that teaches you something - forget it. This isn't it!

The images in this book are spectacular. I'm sure the text is worth reading, but it's hard to balance this big book on my lap to read it. It's more of a picture book to sit at the kitchen table and enjoy. The binding is certainly impressive!

The pictures in this book are beautiful. The images and lines are thin , crisp and clean. The back of each page is blank which is great if you're using markers. I use a piece of parchment paper or scrapbook paper between page so the colors don't bleed onto the next picture. Gorgeous book. Every picture is beautiful. Highly recommend!

Beautiful pictures, but wish the lines were darker because it makes it hard to see the small details. And if you buy alot of books you will see repeat photos in this book.

The pictures are very beautiful and my four year old really enjoyed it. I however, think that the book should include a little more than a few facts here and there.
Disclaimer : I received this book at a deeply discounted price in exchange for my honest review.

This is a gift but I can say after looking at it that the pictures are great!

This is beautiful book with lots of pictures.
It gives a glimpse of Amano's journey over the period of time.
The photographs are too good to be true.
It was really surprising for me that Amano still uses film camera and not digital camera.
The only let down with this book is quality of paper and binding of the book.
My copy was not received in good condition, binding was damaged.
Overall a nice book and I got lots of idea for my planted tank.

This is a stunning book. The stories are enchanting and the photography is absolutely gorgeous. I would have given five stars but for the fact that only one of each mitten is charted. The reader is asked to "reverse the chart" in order to complete the other mitten. This may be easy for some, but because I have dyslexia, it poses a problem for me. I will have to scan the charts and reverse them in photoshop before proceeding. This is just something to be aware of before purchasing the book, and may not matter to some readers.  I would have happily paid more for a book with charts for both the right and left hand of each design.

Great book! Beautiful pictures! The only problem I have with this coloring book is that the pictures are printed on both sides of the paper. Can't use markers or they will bleed through

Beautiful book well worth the less than $5 (included shipping) that I spent on a 'used' (not a mark on it) Goodwill  paper copy.  Some books are still better viewed on paper rather than via electronic means and this is one of them. The books published by DK are gorgeous but are far more expensive electronically. The HD pictures for tablet or computer are beautiful and in some cases  worth the extra expense but don't waste the money on phone versions. You can't see the pictures well enough.

Beautiful illustrations! Wish it explained the parts but it's not that kind of book. Beautiful illustrations!

Beautiful pictures throughout. This book has tons of pages of beautifully detailed images to color. I've been using pencils but using colored markers would also be nice.

The images are stunning,  and are on proper, glossy color plate paper. I would have liked it better if the images and text were better aligned, but still wonderful nonetheless.

Beautiful pictures. The drawings are very fine so you can't color them with a marker or a crayon if that is your preference
