I have always enjoyed beautiful reference books. I remember spending so much time going through my parent’s and grand-parent’s reference books (even before knowing to read), browsing through, gazing at the beautiful pictures, curious to know more (and wishing I was able to read by myself to learn about all those beautiful animals and plants!).
As my son and daughter are getting older (J. is 4.5 years old, M. is 17 months), we find ourselves looking more and more at reference books.
After Christmas, I will even organise a dedicated bookshelf near a comfy reading nook: perfect for Sunday afternoon family hygge!
Here are our reference books must-haves!
An Anthology of Intriguing Animals
More than 100 intriguing animals are presented in this beautifully illustrated anthology, arranged from biggest to smallest. The shiny golden cover and sides makes it even more beautiful – and special.
A must-have for every animal-lover.

The Wonders of Nature
Just as An Anthology of Intriguing Animals, beautiful pictures and drawings introduce children to multiple wonders of nature: think rocks and minerals, plants, microscopic life and animals. Over 220 pages of fun ahead!
At home, this is one of our favorites: we enjoy looking at the pictures, reading infos here and there and opening the book to any page and discover something new!
A wonderful addition to any personal library.

My son is a huge dinosaurs fan. He got this book a few months back; even though it is aimed for older children, he really enjoys the illustrations and being read informations here and there. I really like the fact that this book will last him a long time!
Great illustrations are paired with Smithsonian-quality information and updated with the latest discoveries.
A must-have for every dinosaur fan!
