Synopsis:
Get ready for the journey of a lifetime... up in the sky!
Bird's Eye View: The Natural World takes you on an amazing, fact-filled aerial journey around the world with stunning views of its landscapes, and the animals and plants that live in them. 

Our Thoughts:
This book is a magnificent journey across the world, shown to us from the sky or 'a bird's eye view'.

Each full-page spread shows us a location in amazing color from a bird's eye view, with a visual list of animals that are native to that area at the bottom of the page. There are lots of educational bits of text throughout, showing and telling us about the ecosystems, habitats, and the animals that live there.

This incredible book spans the world and shows us unique geographical features and habitats from each continent.

Starting out in the Florida Everglades, we travel down through the Amazon and Andes Mountains in South America, across the Pacific to Australia, upwards through Asia into Russia, down over the Himalayas and across the Indian Ocean to Africa, then up through Europe and the UK before traveling back to the United States and touching down in Central Park.

We were extra tickled that our journey started out in Florida, which is where we live and explore and are always on the lookout for gators and the other critters that are native to our unique state! 
We really enjoyed this book and hope to add it to our little library to reference in the future!
