David Attenborough (34) (Little People, BIG DREAMS)

Like many titles in the Little People, BIG DREAMS series, this book about David Attenborough is a real gem. It manages to capture the essence of an extraordinary life in a way that’s both accessible and inspiring for children. The narrative is simple enough for young readers to follow, yet thoughtful enough to convey the sense of curiosity, wonder and respect for nature that defines Attenborough’s work. The illustrations are lovely - colourful, expressive and full of personality, with each perfectly complementing the story and helping to bring key moments to life visually. My daughters were instantly drawn to the art style, and it’s one of those books they often choose to revisit on their own. What stands out most is how well the book balances storytelling and inspiration. It doesn’t just recount achievements; it encourages young readers to see the world as something to explore and protect. The tone is uplifting and warm, and it’s clear why this series has become such a favourite among parents and teachers alike. David Attenborough himself is a particularly engaging subject, and the book does an excellent job of showing his lifelong passion for wildlife and the natural world. It’s sparked several conversations in our home about animals, conservation and the importance of curiosity - exactly the kind of inspiration you’d hope for.

My son absolutely adored the story of David Attenborough. The quality of the book is excellent, The pages feel like really nice paper. The illustrations are just mesmerisingly beautiful. Superb storyline very informative. Little David Attenborough grew up in Leicester on the campus of a university, where his father was a professor. As a child, he spent hours in the science library, collating his own specimens and creating a mini animal museum. When he was old enough to go to university, he studied science and zoology—but what he wanted most of all was to be close to the animals he was studying. So, he started working in television, visiting animals in their natural habitats, and telling the world the untold stories of these animals. This moving book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the broadcaster's life.

The cutest book ever !! Brought as a Christmas present for our nephew. He’s going to love it Highly recommend

Got a few of these now and they are the best books for kids and adults. Beautifully bound, colourful and interesting and collectable. Have quite a collection now for my grand daughter

A lovely little biography, with great illustrations, for younger readers. Good quality hard back. I have bought a number of these books and I would recommend highly recommend them.

Very informative, easy to understand book for children.

Bought for my seven year old granddaughter. She was delighted with the book. Inspirational? I’m not sure. Could have been slightly more encouraging to a young mind (only my opinion).

Love these types of books - David is an amazing one

Tenía muchas ganas de recibir este libro porque ya tenemos más de la colección y nos encanta David Attenborough. De la historia no voy a opinar porque aún no lo hemos leído pero la encuadernación deja mucho que desear. Están las tapas del libro puestas al revés y además está algo descuadrada la impresión. Las ilustraciones se ven bien y no lo voy a devolver pero esta impresión que nos han mandado es defectuosa.

An amazing children’s introduction to David and his life and love of animals. Will definitely recommend and keen to read more of this series and share them with my children.

Brilliant gift for my lovely Niece. Every Girl and Boy needs to think that they can achieve anything.

Nice book. Informative
