Tolles Buch für Familien und Botanikfans ( )

A charming, beautifully written and illustrated picture book. Perfect for a child who enjoys hiking, adventure, animals, nature, etc. It would also be a great introduction to nature journaling. ( )

The Golden Glow is charmingly illustrated, but the scant story to seems written with little impetus beyond justifying the pictures. It seems rather text heavy for smaller children, but not adventurous enough for older kids. The best thing I can say is that it is a very pretty book. ( )

This is a beautiful book about the beauty and diversity of Nature. Fox love plants and while reading an old botany book, he finds a flower called The Golden Glow. He was not familiar with this flower, so decides he is going to head off to find one. I like how the author and illustrator labeled some of their illustrations. While packing for his trip, trees and flowers along the way with their seeds and leaves are all labeled. He meets up with some friends along the way who help him in his quest. He finally finds the flower he was looking for up on the top of the mountain. He decided that it was so beautiful, that he should leave it where it was. He observed it, drew it, labeled it and put it in his book for others to see. A book showing appreciation of nature in a simple form. It could be read to a class beginning a unit on plants and animals, studying the environment and how to protect it as well as those who just love plants, flowers and trees. My grandson noticed that most of the illustrations were done with geometric shapes. The story did not interest him as much as the illustrations, but he is only 4. I think this book would be good to read to primary aged children up to about 10 or 11. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley. ( )
