Review quotes
"Adults are just as likely as children to discover new animals and details throughout this well-researched text, and something new will be remembered with each reading. A call to action at the end encourages readers to protect the environment and the many creatures who reside on the Earth, and a glossary and index serve to enhance readers' overall understanding and recall. This is an excellent addition to nonfiction collections for elementary school-aged children." —Children's Literature Company
"Every page is so attractive and colorful. The factoids about each animal are really interesting, and the design of the page layouts makes it easy to read. There are little snippets of information next to illustrations of each animal, and you get to learn so much so quickly!" —Luminous Libro
