Something they wantSomething they needSomething to wearSomething to readThis is a wonderful way of covering Christmas don't you think. I saw it on Pinterest recently and trust me that I love the idea of reducing the quantities of things under the Christmas tree. One thing I always done was to give books to the kids at any age they were. This year, I am planning to give this marvelous book to my son who adores animals. He has a special gift with all creatures and I think he will enjoy this book very much.The book will present to you a variety of animals from the various species existing on earth - mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates. In each section you will discover the ones who will have the most amazing anatomy, the animal athletes, the life stories of some animals as well as the supernatural senses they might have. Each section will also highlights the record-breakers that exist around the planet.Each animal has a stats and facts that will give you interesting information about is, an at a glance section which will highlights the size,habitat, location and diet of the animal as well as close up photos of it. Depending of the animal presented, you could also get some 3D animal models or drawing that will help you understand a specific aspect of the creature. For example, take the woodpecker - a bird that is commonly seen everywhere during the summer. Even when you don't see it, you can hear his tock-tock-tock as he is looking for food in the tree. Did you know that a woodpecker's skull is made of spongy bone that absorbs the vibrations has he makes holes? The brain sits very tightly inside the skull to stop it from bouncing off the bone when the bill strikes.
