Summary
Hey， why is that funny-looking monkey on TV hanging upside down？ Is that fuzzy， chubby guy in the back yard a woodchuck or a groundhog？ Now you can find answers to these and hundreds more questions and curiosities right at your fingertips！ Featuring 2，500 species and packed with stunning color photographs， amazing animal facts， maps， and more， the new National Geographic Kids Animal Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive on the market today， amazing and entertaining readers， while providing them with authoritative information about the animal kingdom。 Kids love to look at animals and this book showcases more than 1，000 gorgeous color photographs as only National Geographic--the leader in wildlife photography--can。 Thematic spreads take readers through animal homes and habitats， senses and communication， life cycle and babies， movement and migration， defenses， camouflage， and adaptation， and endangered animals and conservation。 Special features in each section include ANIMAL PROFILES spreads that focus in-depth on a particular animal and ANIMAL RECORDS spreads that highlight superlatives such as fastest， tallest， smallest， etc。 Exclusive FROM-THE-FIELD reports， that focus on National Geographic explorers and their stories about the animals they study， can only be found in this animal encyclopedia， adding to its entertainment and educational value。
Animals are organized by taxonomy within each section （mammals， birds， reptiles， amphibians， fish， and invertebrates）， accompanied by common and scientific name， fact boxes （featuring lifespan， habitat， and size） and text describing diet， special features， and any other pertinent information。 Symbols representing conservation and habitat status highlight a high-interest topic for kids， while color-coding on each section provides for ease of navigation。 Backmatter will include a listing of animal species along with basic information including name （scientific and common）， lifespan， diet， size， and habitat。 A comprehensive glossary， index， and "find out more" section round out this must-have resource。

Good representation of animals from around the world。 Could give more about the taxonomy， but overall it's what the students want -- great pics and short snippets to read。 Good representation of animals from around the world。 Could give more about the taxonomy， but overall it's what the students want -- great pics and short snippets to read。 。。。more

Excellent book but National Geographic needs to make a new edition because of invalid information such as in page 63 where the scientific name of a Snow leopard is written as Uncia Uncia but should be written as Panthera Uncia。 Also on page 58 where the red panda is listed as sharing the same family as a raccoon but recently its be recategorized as its own family Aluradae。Inspire of a few inaccurate information this is still the best book on zoology I have ever read， but I'm still 13 so we'll se Excellent book but National Geographic needs to make a new edition because of invalid information such as in page 63 where the scientific name of a Snow leopard is written as Uncia Uncia but should be written as Panthera Uncia。 Also on page 58 where the red panda is listed as sharing the same family as a raccoon but recently its be recategorized as its own family Aluradae。Inspire of a few inaccurate information this is still the best book on zoology I have ever read， but I'm still 13 so we'll see if it will hold its place as first in the following years。 。。。more

This Animal Encyclopedia from National Geographic is just the perfect book （tome， if you will） for kids who love to soak up everything available on animals。 Tons of info on all sorts of interesting animals is scattered throughout tons of beautiful， vibrant pictures that make anyone who picks this book up want to spend time delving into its pages。The folks at National Geographic Kids know what they’re doing。。。which is why yellow books like this are slowly taking over our house。

This book is fabulous！ I cannot believe this book that is so densely packed with information entertained my 4 and 6 year old nightly for a period of 6 months。 I might have thought the content would have been too dry， describing the diet， habitat， size and lifespan of animal after animal， however， my children were riveted。 The book is divided into sections by taxonomy: mammals， birds， fish， invertebrates， amphibians reptiles。 Within each section， each page is devoted to a particular animal group This book is fabulous！ I cannot believe this book that is so densely packed with information entertained my 4 and 6 year old nightly for a period of 6 months。 I might have thought the content would have been too dry， describing the diet， habitat， size and lifespan of animal after animal， however， my children were riveted。 The book is divided into sections by taxonomy: mammals， birds， fish， invertebrates， amphibians reptiles。 Within each section， each page is devoted to a particular animal group and then talks about particular species of that group。 I personally loved learning so much about all these animals。 We would make each page a game with me quizzing my children at the end of each page to see how much they retained。 Our “Guess the Animal” game in the car has become quite sophisticated as a result of this book。 I loved how at the end of each taxonomy there is a page that goes into records: biggest， fastest， most poisonous， etc。 There are also pages describing researchers studying animal species in the wild。 If you have an animal lover in your family， I cannot recommend this book enough！ The photos are stunning， the maps detailing where the animals live are highly educational and there is so much depth to this book for great discussion to occur。 。。。more
