Wat hebben onze 6-jarige zoon en ik genoten van dit prachtige boek. Samen hebben we ons verwonderd om de kracht, schoonheid en bijzonderheid van de natuur. We hebben zoveel geleerd, zoals hoe een parel in een oester ontstaat en hoe wevermieren een nest bouwen. Maar ook bekende natuurweetjes waren een feestje om te bekijken: formatie van kikkervisje naar kikker en hoe een uil zijn prooi vangt. You can’t have the good without at least sometimes experiencing the bad. The audiobook was easy to listen to though at parts it seemed disjointed, transitioning to several (semi-related) topics in a short span of time, with extended pauses in between. Not sure what the actual book looks like and how the format of spacing and breaks are shown, but maybe that’s how this was accounted for in the audio format.

Dit is echt zo een uniek pareltje om in huis te hebben. Dit is namelijk niet een boek dat je maar 1x leest.

Featured quotes: Much of the book, as one might expect, spirals around spirituality and religion, two topics which do not particularly appeal to me as an atheist. I did find that Sunim came across as rather preachy at times, which did not endear me to him.
