Why read it?
1 author picked The Big Book of Bling as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Its nearly 200 photograph-packed pages provide a sense of the astounding range of what makes our world shine.
One of my favorite things about researching glitter was considering why substances and creatures and other objects that glimmer and glow are so appealing to humans, regardless of what causes that sparkle. Some of the territory covered by this book (the cover itself offers a couple of hints) is also addressed in my books, but there’s lots more that I didn’t explore.
For readers especially interested in the bling of things, this book is a great next step.
From Chris' list on for glitter-loving kids.
