"The book provides the best kind of learning--the kind that happens without the learner realizing it, the kind that gives the reader a thrill of discovering something novel.… Artist Cécile Gambini's illustrations alone make this book a worthwhile purchase. They are perfect: charming and colorful with accuracy and a little bit of mystery that keeps you looking." --Tropical Garden Magazine
