5 out of 5 stars My son's favorite present!!   December 15, 2005

I bought this encyclopedia for my son's 7th birthday. It was his favorite gift, hands down. He still takes it with him everywhere. The book is full of pictures and lots of neat facts that are enough to challenge a 7 year old, but concise enough that he can read them simply. The book is split up into different categories of animals: Mammals, Creepy Crawlies, Birds, Reptiles, etc. Then each category has pages for different types of that creature. For example, mammals has ocean mammals, horses, marsupials, flying mammals, etc. The pictures are wonderful, and as I said, the amount of text is just right. I am so glad I bought this. My son is happy to sit for hours on end looking at this book. I highly recommend it for any animal loving child.


5 out of 5 stars Good, solid kids encyclopedia   February 27, 2006

This encyclopedia is a good introduction into the animal kingdom. It does read well and the illustrations and imagery are well done. The categories make looking up animal groups a breeze. There is enough detail and close ups on the smaller animals, which really helps with understanding the animals.
Even the rediculous representation of the T-Rex found in the Big Dinosaur Book by DK makes a cameo, which we found amusing.

Overall a worthy purchase, promising long use.

5 out of 5 stars Pefect gift for animal lovers   January 7, 2008

A friend's 2 1/2 year old son loves animals. Since he prefers real animals to cartoon ones, I decided to go with this book. I gave it to him almost a month ago and his parents say it's still his favorite thing in the world. He takes it everywhere an asks everyone he knows to tell him about the animals. I wouldn't hesitate getting this for a child of any age.
