Nice idea but illustrations could be better

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 October 2019

Look Down and See: Natural Wonders of the World is a book I was looking forward to reading. The book is described as a birds eye view of twelve natural wonders across the world. I thought this sounded like a really interesting concept, and I guess it still is, but I just don't like how this book looks.

The book is split into 12 double pages with each double page having one illustration of a birds eye view and a map of where the location is in the world. I think that although I can see why it has been done, the illustrations are too busy and a little confusing to look at on some pages and this is off putting when trying to concentrate on the book. I think in a way they are too cartoon like and maybe needed to be a more realistic drawing or an actual photo so the real beauty of the natural wonders could be appreciated.

I do like just how many facts are placed throughout the book as it is great to read about some places the children (and I) might not have heard of before, we particularly liked looking at Alaska and seeing such an unique environment. The search and find part of the book is fantastic and something I hadn't expected but was very pleased to discover as the children love this kind of book. It wasn't the hardest or most time consuming search and find but it was a nice aspect to the book and gets the children to look more deeply into the illustrations and facts.

We found aspects of this book good but would have given it a lot higher rating if the illustrations were more realistic, not a bad book but could be better.
