Shapes Of Nature

Shapes of Nature by Ben Hoare is a large-format children’s nature book that turns the world outside into something you’ll want to pore over again and again. Designed as a visual treasure trove, it celebrates the colours, patterns and textures hiding in plain sight.

Inside, shimmering beetles, jewel-bright frogs, knobbly seashells, sparkling crystals and fabulous fungi are grouped into striking mosaic spreads. The real joy is in the details: compare shapes, spot subtle differences, and let each page spark questions about how nature builds such extraordinary variety.

Perfect for curious kids aged 8–12, budding naturalists, and families after a beautiful coffee-table book to share, this illustrated gift book blends discovery with quiet, screen-free wonder.

Add it to your shelves for an inviting dip-in read that rewards every closer look.
