Christmas Gift for my 11 year old son
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I was thrilled to find this book. My son loves animals. When he got one of those animal card subscriptions where you get to keep paying every month forever I thought a nice animal book would be better. I had no idea how hard it would be to find something age appropriate. Most of the books are too simple as in "My first ..." or someone's thesis on something. This book was great. Tons of photos and pictures and enough information to keep him busy for a very long time.
Great for curious minds
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I purchased this book for my two daughters, 4 and 5 1/2, they were asking alot of questions about animals, which I would answer as best as I could. This book has filled in the blanks for us, and has beatiful photographs. it shows the preastoric ancestors as well. It is laid out very well, so the girls can ask their questions and recieve answers very fast. I know this book will be used over and over again as they grow older, recomended for all curious minds, young and old.
Very concise and comprehensive description of land animals
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
The Encyclopaedia of Animals: Mammals, Birds, Reptile, and Amphibians is a milestone in concise scientific, and current description of animal species. Any amature(or professional), could only benefit by having this book in there collection. It is a shame it is no longer in print after only been in circulation for only three years.
