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. This little book makes you look at snowflakes in a whole new light, and really think about how they are formed. The pictures are amazing, and this book is fun to read.
The Little Book of SnowflakesWhat a Beautiful little book. I think i got as much enjoyment or maybe more than my Granddaughter did. We all rediscovered snow, we kept ckecking all the flakes as they fell.Thanks for creating this magical little book.
This little book is a wonder. But Ken Libbrecht shows us the astounding beauty that only comes in winter -- in the intricate designs of snowflakes. One may feel a sense of gloom and doom as winter closes in. It show a miniature miracle of creation in each unique snowflake. Libbrecht's exquisite photographs of snowflakes have appeared in a number of books, and have been honored by the U.S. Post Office on postage stamps. And with each picture come captions discussing the science behind their beauty, as well as literary quotes relating to snow and nature. With no two exactly alike among the billions that fall, snowflakes are a magically beautiful picture of the infinity of the Creator.
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. For the money, I would have expected more book and certainly more photos. The pictures are beautiful and we both love them, but this is simply a case of too much money for too little book.
Saw this little book and was really impressed. 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.
