Floris Books A Year Around the Great Oak

Beautiful book: drawings are exquisite. Encyclopedia level.A lot of small details to notice and talk about.Suitable for homeschooling and different age groups.It is second book of the author I purchased and definately going to get as many of them as possible.We do appriciate modern "unleash your creativity" books as well (with green cows flying and laying eggs etc,) but they price is roughly the same and you just cant compare any of them to work of Gerda Muller. She is different level.P.S: recently we were unlucky with Amazon . A lot of items arrived damaged or in "used" condition. But this book was pleasant exception. New, undamaged and in perfect order.

We as a family really enjoyed this book. The story was good, but we really loved all the little extra snippets here and there than where factual and educational. As a homeschool/Unschooler I highly recommend this book for using as an easy learning tool that is fun and a joy to read for both child and adult.

I bought this book for my 3 year old cousin. Three years later it is still one of her favourite books. Gerda Mullers beautiful and enchanting books are a must have. I can highly recommend all her books. Stunning pictures and a welcome change from the usual books available for young children. If you like Gerda Muller 's books, you may want to look at Elsa Beskow's books too.

Wonderful book! We live in close connection with our environment and books like this help our child to think about our relationship with the natural world.

Really lovely story, a complete journey throughout the Season's, all centred around a magnificent Oak Tree, and the story of the children who's lives evolve around it.Lovely aspects to consider and great for having discussions about the Season's and time, in a tangible way that young children can understand. Just the right length for younger folk and engaging illustrations to admire as you peruse each page. Highly recommended.
