5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book.

A.S. · 4 March 2025

This is a wonderful book. It's very informative and factual. It goes into the right amount of detail about animals. Each animal picture has a icon describing its size, life span, habitat, danger to humans and then gives a little paragraph of information. My 3 year old is obsessed with this book in looks at it every day. It's fantastic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Presented, Lovely Pictures and Interesting Content

Got this for my 4 1/2 year old son who loves animals. This book is great for him. It's well organised and full of wonderful full page pictures, drawings and snippets of interesting info about each animal. Each animal has a picture, size comparison to humans, stats and a little paragraph of info. It's just the right amount to keep a young child interested. It hasn't got every single animal you can think of, but they've done a good job of mixing the most interesting with the most popular and everyday animal. All in all it's a lovely book and should keep his interest for a few years to come.

I purchased this book, as my 10 year old boy has a keen thirst for knowledge on anything to do with animals. We live in Spain, and he goes to a Spanish school, I wanted him to learn in English as well as Spanish about the various animal categories and classifications, so as not to limit his possibilities. This book is perfect. It is clear, concise and hugely interesting. The photos are excellent, and all in all I think it will be a book to treasure for many years to come. A recommended book for anyone with children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Animal Encyclopedia. Very Informative.

C.S. · 26 December 2011

This is the third 'Animals A Children's Encyclopedia I have bought for grandchildren, and it has been greatly appreciated. Covers all types of animals with wonderful pictures and is well worth the money. Interests both boys and girls alike, and is a way of stimulating their interest in wildlife. Suitable for ages from 9 to teens. An excellent book and I can thoroughily recommend it. There is also a Science Encyclopedia in the same series and that is excellent as well! Clare - Coleraine, NI.

I bought this book for my 8yr old son and it is worth buying for the photographs alone. Gives a brief explanation of how animals are classified and provides pictures of different animals within each species along with interesting facts. Symbols are used to provide information about habitat, lifespan, conservation status etc. which is great for kids as you don't get bogged down with reading. Great as a basic all round guide.

This is an exclellent book, with plenty of interest in the colour photographs to keep children engrossed for ages. It is a good reference book, well written and printed on good quality paper. While it is written for children it is also a good reference for adults and can be a good source of conversation between adult and child.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Present for a 4 year old and over!

Its a book that you learn and they learn! its a great book! Big visuals of the animal and clear graphics for all the interesting facts like age, size, etc. So it's easy to point at a picture and tell the kid about that animal!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best animal ever for children

M. · 5 May 2010

Having got this book out of the library by daughter was desperate to have her own copy. It really is a wonderful book, every animal you think of is in it. My daughter is 7 and enjoys looking at on her own but my son who is 5 gets just as much out of book and is lovely book look out together with your children, lots of information even for grown ups.
