    This was the most thoughtfully packaged thing I have ever bought on Ebay, complete with handmade art and notes! All the books are gift wrapped in old book pages! Packed in recycled cotton and fabric scraps! It even included two gift wrapped bonus books that were on theme and my young nature explorers are beyond thrilled! If I could leave a gratuity on Ebay, I would. Highly recommended seller!

    Best experience ever… mind blown. Artistic hand water colored packaging- felt like a piece of art in itself. Book wrapped in beautiful paper- hand water color book mark included. And a bonus book thrown in… I’m beyond words. Highly recommended you shop here. This experience was a pure joy! Also- great price, fast shipping, as described, plus all the bonuses listed above.

    Wow, what a cool book! And in just-as-described condition! And super securely packaged: snugly wrapped in paper and centered in a box surrounded by cotton-y material and bubblewrap! Customized box graphics, too! And mailed at warp speed! Great price, too! I'm running out of explanation points! Top shelf buying experience! Thank you and Happy New Year!
