This book is a feast for the inner biologist within you. It is comprehensive without going overboard. It covers many families of animals that other books might miss, and creatively packs in the information without feeling heavy. The pictures are stunning and awe one with the miracle of life.

I bought this book as a Christmas present for my 10 year old daughter who loves to learn about animals. This book is packed with amazing photographs and tons of easy to read fun facts on every type of animal. Just perfect for keeping the attention of an eager mind.
I wanted a general encylcopedia that covered all the basics in the animal world for my kids. This is THE book. My 5-year-old loves it. Everything in here is in color, beatufiully printed and arranged, and there are numerous photographs on each page. It's interesting for adults, too. My personal favorites are the deep sea creatures like the viperfish and giant sea crab. My daughter loves the spider and horse pages.The sections include Mammals, Birds, Reptiles, Amphibians, Fish, and Invertebrates. Each section has dozens of sub-sections about many categories of animals. It has numerous two-page spreads showcasing different beetles, sea shells, moths and butterflies, eggs, and etc. aside from the informative pages. The informative pages are packed with beautiful images and short descriptions of different species and sub-species.My daughter wants me to write, "This is the best book ever." I think it's an excellent choice for a general-purpose animal encyclopedia.
This is a beautiful book. The book has beautiful, large, full-color pictures and tons of interesting information. My daughter loves animals and was so excited to see this book beside her Easter basket!
This is a great book I got it yesterday. The photos are beautiful, clear and show a lot of detail. There are plenty of facts through out this book. It's a good hard back book if you love all kinds of animals. It is very well done. It could be interesting for grammer school aged kids on up to adults.
My 11 year old son loves this book. He loves many of the books put out by DK publishing and categorized in this fashion where there are short excerpts about the different species of animals and pictures to go along with each excerpt.
I bought this book for my 3 year old who loves animals. she loves the book. It has many pictures, big and clear, with lots more animals for her to learn about. every animal has a key giving the relative size of the animal in comparison with a tree and a human. also their extinction information. which is good for older kids. Its worth the money!
