Customer Reviews

Beautiful nature art -- Fascinating and Informative Text

The beautiful artwork of Maryjo Koch and the interesting text are a great combination with appeal to older children and adults. One is never overwhelmed with information but invited into the text through the carefully researched and executed paintings. There is just enough of both to make a visual impact and retain the facts about each subject. There is also a subtle sense of humor throughout as well. I enjoy it a few pages at a time to savor the sights and indulge in an entertaining education.

Dragonfly Beetle Butterfly Bee

This is a great book. This series of 4 books is out of print. Dragonfly Beetle Butterfly Bee is the most rare and hardest to find. It took me 2 years to find it at a price I could pay. It was worth the wait.

An Absolutely Fabulous Book

This book is one of the best recent examples of naturalistic painting that I have seen in a while. Her use of texture and keen eye for detail make this book a beautiful work. It is absolutely fabulous.

Absolutely adorable, a marvelous book.

I was delighted and amazed with this charming book on insects. I picked it up as a coffee table book, but it soon became one of my favorites. Koch's illustrations are unique and eye catching, and her text is informative and fun. This book is a well loved member of my library, not to mention my coffee table...
