A Beautiful Walk · By the Water

This is a nature science picture book from the “Beautiful Walk” series, published by Dolphin Books in April 2013. It was written and illustrated by German author Thomas Müller, translated by Wang Xiao, and reviewed by Liu Su.

The picture book focuses on waterside ecosystems, introducing over 100 plants and animals that live by the water — including kingfishers, otters, white willows, dragonflies, herring gulls, and freshwater mussels — paired with beautiful illustrations and engaging science explanations, making it perfect for children’s nature science reading.
