I really like this book for many reasons. For an informational book it is not really overwhelming for younger readers. The size of the book helps with this I think. The book is broken down into animals with tusks, sky, land, sea, natural weapons, and so on. It has pictures of the animals but only points out a few things about their bodies that are intesting. There are not lines going everywhere telling you every bone and muscle of the animal. I also like that when they are introducing an animal it says a characteristic about the animal. For example the bats are introduced "Thirst for blood." This book would be fun for kids to look up one of their favorie dangerous animal and write a story including some of the things they learned from the book.… (mais)
