Wild Animals of the North by Dieter Braun

*I was sent this for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review*
HONESTLY THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BOOKS I'VE EVER READ. I would recommend this to any, and everyone. This is, quite simply, stunning. It's a non-fiction illustrated book which focuses on various animals from the Northern regions of Earth. A lot of the animal images are accompanied by some information about the daily habits of that animal. I found that whilst I did know some of what was mentioned, a lot was still super interesting and the paragraphs are short, sweet and informative.
Most of the animals are illustrated in multiple poses using a very geometric set of forms and shapes, and this gives such a beautiful image every time, that I couldn't help but pour over each one multiple times in wonder. The way that Dieter Braun chooses to pose the animals, to show them on a backdrop native to their habitat, or to show them as they move is incredible. Although the style Braun uses is not 'accurate' in terms of reality, it's SO accurate in terms of form, shape and movement. Every animal is depicted beautifully and every one has it's own true identity. Not one page of this book let me down, every single one was captivating and worthy of being a print all on its own!!!
Honestly I am amazed by the beauty of the colours, the softness of the images, and the way that Braun makes this style work for every one. All of them were exceptionally well-designed, coloured and posed, and I have nothing but utter praise for this book. Truly I am so excited that there will be another book (Wild Animals of the South) coming out in future as this is a book I know every child (and adult alike) would be happy to own. It's so beautiful and makes the imagination run wild... Pure perfection in a book, 5*s and recommended to ALL :)
