Absolutely glorious。 If I was a kid and owned it， it would be a treasure that would give me comfort with every gorgeous photograph。 To learn that so many wonderful creatures share this world with us is to learn to appreciate one's own life， too。 I particularly appreciate the Scale key for each spread。 It really is enlightening to learn， for example， not only how many different kinds of dolphins and porpoises there are， but how they vary in size so much。Organization is fine。 Information is concis Absolutely glorious。 If I was a kid and owned it， it would be a treasure that would give me comfort with every gorgeous photograph。 To learn that so many wonderful creatures share this world with us is to learn to appreciate one's own life， too。 I particularly appreciate the Scale key for each spread。 It really is enlightening to learn， for example， not only how many different kinds of dolphins and porpoises there are， but how they vary in size so much。Organization is fine。 Information is concise。。。 because it needs to be， in order to fit in one volume。 Kids can certainly look up more information on the critters that appeal to them。May 2021 。。。more

Found this going around to get the house "tidy" at the request of my daughter in anticipation of her first play date in almost a year。 My son has moved on from it now （for the most part）， but it was one of the books he really latched onto in Fall 2019 as he was widening his zoological interests from dinosaurs to animals more generally。 We've read it again and again， with varying foci of interest， but always an intense desire for knowledge on his part （and a whimsical but less focused curiosity o Found this going around to get the house "tidy" at the request of my daughter in anticipation of her first play date in almost a year。 My son has moved on from it now （for the most part）， but it was one of the books he really latched onto in Fall 2019 as he was widening his zoological interests from dinosaurs to animals more generally。 We've read it again and again， with varying foci of interest， but always an intense desire for knowledge on his part （and a whimsical but less focused curiosity on mine）。 I haven't chronicled these books as much as I have literary children's books， but I will try to post some of his favorites in the next several weeks。 。。。more

My kids have spent hours poring over this book。 It is visually very appealing。 Although it's more broad than deep， it's a great springboard for further curiosity。 My kids have spent hours poring over this book。 It is visually very appealing。 Although it's more broad than deep， it's a great springboard for further curiosity。 。。。more

While the book is packed with colorful photographs depicting organisms from all the branches of life， it is limited to a few pages per type， thus having only space for the supposedly more common or popular species。 Perhaps the bigger weakness is the paucity of even basic information on each one such as size， distribution， food habits etc。， making it only attractive to very young children。

If you want students to learn more about nature and animals， The Animal Book is one of the best choice。 This book include almost all types of animals， from amoebas to zebras， from tiny toadstools to giant oaks。 The photos and pictures in this book told readers about the structure and skeleton of different plants and animals。 A "tree of life" at the beginning of the book charted the complex and interconnected relationships between species。 Students can learn the relationship between human being a If you want students to learn more about nature and animals， The Animal Book is one of the best choice。 This book include almost all types of animals， from amoebas to zebras， from tiny toadstools to giant oaks。 The photos and pictures in this book told readers about the structure and skeleton of different plants and animals。 A "tree of life" at the beginning of the book charted the complex and interconnected relationships between species。 Students can learn the relationship between human being and other animals from this book。It is a great encyclopedia and tool book for children。 When they meet animals they don't know， they can finds lots of information from this book。It also encourage students to learn more about all kinds of animals and the world they live。 。。。more
