Books by Ernst Haeckel
“Creatures of the Deep is a fabulous wordless pop-up book, not a traditional story or science book, or particularly a book for kids. As there is no text, children can enjoy it as soon as they are able to turn the pages without breaking the elaborate three-dimensional paper engineering created by Maike Biederstädt. Creatures of the Deep is based on underwater illustrations from Ernst Haeckel’s Art Forms in Nature (Kunstformen der Natur) prints originally published between 1899 and 1904. It is an amazing work of art that instils a feeling of wonder about the underwater world. Although there are only seven pop-ups readers get a sense of the incredible variety of the flora and fauna there.” Read more...

Beautiful Science Books for 4-8 Year Olds, recommended by Our Children's Editor
Scientific picture books provide an enjoyable way for kids to explore different fields of science without realising how much they are learning. Our Children’s Editor picks science books for kids age 4-8 that are informative but also a pleasure to look at, both for children and for the adults that are reading with them.
