National Geographic Encyclopedia of Animals Review
Beautiful full color photographs and well written information about animals. This is a must have book for any animal lover! It is written so that almost every age can read and enjoy it. This probably isn't the kind of book that a grad student might use for a research paper. However, we have had it for a while and I still feel like I learn something every time I open the book. My son thinks he is too cool for it. But I see him reading it once in a while when he thinks no one is looking.
National Geographic Encyclopedia of Animals Overview
Get ready to take a walk on the wild side! National Geographic Children's Books' brand-new reference work provides families and children with everything they need to know about the animal kingdom.
You'll meet more than 1,000 animals as you explore the pages of National Geographic Encyclopedia of Animals. This comprehensive volume introduces the entire animal kingdom: mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and all kinds of invertebrates, from sea squirts to worms and spiders.
Your tour of the animal kingdom will take you to every corner of the planet—from rugged mountain slopes to ocean depths and from steamy jungles to baking deserts and icy polar regions.
First, you'll find out just what an animal is, where animals live, how they behave, and why some are endangered. Then the parade of animals begins, each group in its own color-coded section. A lively introductory essay pointing out each group's distinguishing features is followed by page after page of stunning illustrations, engaging text, fun facts, maps, and more about the amazing range of animals within each group. The vibrant illustrations seem to crawl, chatter, screech, growl, and jump off every page. There's also a glossary to help with all the new terms you'll be learning, and a comprehensive index makes it easy to find just the animal you need for that report you're writing or just to satisfy your curiosity.
You'll find: More than 1,000 species vividly illustrated Fascinating facts at your fingertips Range maps for all major groups of animals Cross-sections and cutaways Photo essays that show animals in their habitats The latest conservation data Features on scientific discoveries and breakthroughs Scientific and common names for all animals Size listings for all illustrated animals Contents prepared under the direction of an international authority on animal sciences Comprehensive glossary and index
The animal kingdom is the greatest show on Earth, and National Geographic Encyclopedia of Animals puts it all at your fingertips.

Excellent Book - Anita P. McDonald -
I bought this book for my 11 year old granddaughter for Christmas. She loves to read and is very interested in all types of animals. She loved this book. I would definitely recommend it. I love animals as well and I looked through it briefly before I gift wrapped it for her and I found it to be fascinating as well as informative.

My kids totally enjoyed this book and have learned so much. They are eager to read this book and are amazed at some of the animal facts. We spend time together reading this book and I have learned quiet a bit. The pictures are amazing as well.
