The pictures are amazing, and this book is fun to read. This little book makes you look at snowflakes in a whole new light, and really think about how they are formed. This little book was a fascinating look at snowflakes. Most people see snowflakes when they fall, and never think much about them, other than they accumulate on the ground and are pretty when they are falling.
We all rediscovered snow, we kept ckecking all the flakes as they fell.Thanks for creating this magical little book. The Little Book of SnowflakesWhat a Beautiful little book. I think i got as much enjoyment or maybe more than my Granddaughter did.
And with each picture come captions discussing the science behind their beauty, as well as literary quotes relating to snow and nature. This little book is a wonder. It show a miniature miracle of creation in each unique snowflake. One may feel a sense of gloom and doom as winter closes in. With no two exactly alike among the billions that fall, snowflakes are a magically beautiful picture of the infinity of the Creator. Libbrecht's exquisite photographs of snowflakes have appeared in a number of books, and have been honored by the U.S. But Ken Libbrecht shows us the astounding beauty that only comes in winter -- in the intricate designs of snowflakes. Post Office on postage stamps.
The pictures are beautiful and we both love them, but this is simply a case of too much money for too little book. For the money, I would have expected more book and certainly more photos. My wife loves snowflakes and I bought her this book for Christmas. I was disappointed in the book, not in the quality of the images, but in their relative scarcity.
Gave it to my wife for Christmas.and she LOVES it.The photos are spectacular and the little sayings/poems suit it very well.WONDERFUL. Saw this little book and was really impressed.
