Review # 1 was written on 2017-12-01 00:00:00 James Sloan This book was great to read. Learning about animals is a great way for kids to be more compassionate to animals and it raises awareness of endangered species.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-09-04 00:00:00 Trevor Leal The book is divided into three parts. The first part can easy be read in text books at school it’s basically the same information (this and the glossary has real animal pictures in it). The second part is divided into continents: The Americas, Europe and Africa, Asia and Australia and New Zealand. The third part is the glossary and index. A page has two color animal drawings, a maps with information underneath, the main content for each animal, and it may or may not have a peach box with some animal names. The writing it self is a little small, I would say 8 for the main content and probably 6 for the information in the peach box. Even though the book has some interesting facts, telling you if they are common, rare, e.t.c., if they had been grab in the pet market and reduce in numbers. There is some problems besides small print. The spotted hyena is actually a aardwolf picture instead, hard not to notice when it’s twin is below it. After looking up about half the book a few animals may or not have that color, and one turtle that sparkled, but didn‘t in real life (must have been drawn under some lights or someone polish it‘s shell first), some I couldn’t find a picture to confirm them. I also notice on animals that were repeated had about almost word for word of information (I would of like an other animal put there, one of the peach box animals would do; some of the peach box animals I couldn’t find a picture online, but most these could have been put as a replacement). Other then the Europe Hedgehog the rest had ok to interesting information.
