ReviewsVisually stunning, it's an engrossing overview of Earth's remarkable and diverse plant life that provides opportunities for ongoing discovery on every page. -Publishers Weekly (starred review) As in companion volume Animalium by Jenny Broom and also illustrated by Scott (2014), the digitally colored images are not drawn to scale but are rendered with as much attention to visual impact as to exact, formal anatomical detail...a big, decorative, eye-filling survey. -Kirkus Reviews

From perennials to bulbs to tropical exotica, Botanicum is a wonderful feast of botanical knowledge complete with superb cross sections of how plants work.
I love this book and discovered it Barnes & Noble a few weeks ago brand new so I got it a little bit cheaper but it’s covers upside down to the pages.
I love this book and discovered it Barnes & Noble a few weeks ago brand new so I got it a little bit cheaper but it’s covers upside down to the pages. I’m not sure why it kinda bugs me to be honest.
This book is quite large and has gorgeous illustrations. As an adult, I greatly enjoy perusing this as I improve my plant identification skills, and I am sure children would be equally enamored.
