Summary
In The Big Book of Beasts Yuval Zommer’s wonderful illustrations bring to whimsical life some of the grizzliest， hairiest， bravest， wiliest， and most fearsome beasts in the animal kingdom。 Brimming with interesting facts from beast consultant Barbara Taylor， this charming picture book is a beautiful way for parents to introduce young children to the animal world—and for older children to learn by themselves。
In the first pages children learn that beasts are wild animals that can’t be tamed and that they all defend themselves in different ways。 As the book continues young readers meet specific beasts， including armadillos， bears， tigers， and the Tasmanian devil。 The Big Book of Beasts also approaches the world of beasts thematically， looking at mythical beasts， Ice Age beasts， beasts on your street， and how to save beasts in danger of extinction。
The funny and conversational text， amazing facts， and glorious and quirky pictures will draw in young children over and over again。

I absolutely love this series of books。 Yuval Zommer’s beautiful Illustrations combined with the nonfiction animal topics make for a really great reference book that can be enjoyed by a wide range of ages （for young children， you may want to skip or shorten some of the information）

This has become one of my daughter's favorite animal books this year。The Big Book of Beasts is oversized and filled with illustrations and simple facts for many different animals from honey badgers to leopards。 The general location is given for each animal as well。 The writing is simple and easy to understand， so children can pick up the facts quickly and remember them。 We've been reading about one or two animals before bedtime and it's something she looks forward to daily。 I think we'll just r This has become one of my daughter's favorite animal books this year。The Big Book of Beasts is oversized and filled with illustrations and simple facts for many different animals from honey badgers to leopards。 The general location is given for each animal as well。 The writing is simple and easy to understand， so children can pick up the facts quickly and remember them。 We've been reading about one or two animals before bedtime and it's something she looks forward to daily。 I think we'll just reread it all over again！4**** 。。。more

Worth it for the castor fact about beavers alone。 I came for the illustrations， but stayed for the animal fun facts。

I love this series of books。 Normally， I do not approve of illustrations in non-fiction （as opposed to photos） but these illustrations are sublime。

A survey of different kinds of mammals， their unique attributes， and how they protect themselves and their homes。 Also includes some hide-n-seek activities。I liked the worldwide selection of different types of mammals。 It also highlights some that don't frequently get the spotlight， like binturongs。 I had no idea this was just about mammals from anything on the cover。 It says it is about animals of all kinds， but it is really only about mammals。 Which is great。 It'd just be nice to have a clue b A survey of different kinds of mammals， their unique attributes， and how they protect themselves and their homes。 Also includes some hide-n-seek activities。I liked the worldwide selection of different types of mammals。 It also highlights some that don't frequently get the spotlight， like binturongs。 I had no idea this was just about mammals from anything on the cover。 It says it is about animals of all kinds， but it is really only about mammals。 Which is great。 It'd just be nice to have a clue before cracking the cover。 （Wanna hear a funny librarian story？ It seems some didn't even crack the cover before cataloging this。 Library of Congress has a subject heading for this title indicating it is about dragons and mythical beasts。 To be fair， I think they got it from OCLC。 Regardless， somebody made a big whoops。） At the beginning of the book is a diagram showing the different subdivisions of mammals and the book highlights two animals in each division at least。 Kids who like the ferocious mammals should enjoy all the fun facts in this book。 And hide-n-seek fans will like the hidden paw prints throughout。 。。。more

Een mooi geillustreerd boek met heerlijk veel feitjes over verschillende dieren。 Van wolven tot olifanten， van nijlpaardjes tot vleermuizen。 Met op elk pagina ook nog een zoekopdracht wat het boek nog leuker maakt om te lezen/te bekijken。Ook is er nog een stukje met uitgestorven dieren en dieren die bedreigd worden。Ja， ik heb echt genoten van dit boek en ik zou het dan ook aanraden！

The more you know， even the smallest piece of information， about animals in your immediate world or on the planet， the better able you are to protect and assist them。 With spring in full swing now， our state bird， robins， can be seen everywhere。 This year， thanks to reading Robins！ How They Grow Up， I know the adversities they face in migrating， the males will arrive two weeks before the females and the females will tend to build their nests in the same spot year after year。 Lesser Spotted Anima The more you know， even the smallest piece of information， about animals in your immediate world or on the planet， the better able you are to protect and assist them。 With spring in full swing now， our state bird， robins， can be seen everywhere。 This year， thanks to reading Robins！ How They Grow Up， I know the adversities they face in migrating， the males will arrive two weeks before the females and the females will tend to build their nests in the same spot year after year。 Lesser Spotted Animals: The Coolest Creatures You've Never Heard Of acquainted me with the seriousness of the population levels of the black-footed ferret with only a few sustaining populations in the world found in the United States。Last year we were introduced to the fascinating world of insects and invertebrates in The Big Book of Bugs （Thames & Hudson， April 6， 2016）。 In a companion volume， The Big Book Of Beasts （Thames & Hudson， March 16， 2017） written and illustrated by Yuval Zommer we venture into a marvelous collection of mammals。 Each page turn will remind you of the familiar but is guaranteed to present something new and astounding。My full recommendation: http://librariansquest。blogspot。com/2。。。 。。。more
