Illustrations: 5 stars

While there was a bit of information in this book, the story-telling was really jumpy and scattered and while some of the random quotes on every page were lovely, they don't always flow with the rest of the story and would be jarring to try to read aloud. The rest of this book is written to be read aloud, which makes the use of these quotes tricky. I felt like I needed to be reading another parallel, more fact-based book at the same time I was reading this one for it all to make sense and to actually know what was going on.
Beautiful illustrations though, really really lovely.
