Book Description

September 2003 5 and upK and up

An appealing introduction to the animal kingdom.

You won't believe the amazing things that animals do -- how they communicate, how they find food, how they take care of their families.

Amazing Things Animals Do is jam-packed with astounding animal facts designed to introduce children to the fascinating wonders of animal behavior. It is a compilation of all four titles from the series of the same name: Little Wonders: Animal Babies and Their Families, Time to Eat: Animals Who Hide and Save Their Food, Side by Side: Animals Who Help Each Other, and Wild Talk: How Animals Talk to Each Other.

Did you know?

  • Some tiny finches eat their dinners off the backs of giant Galapagos tortoises?
  • An elephant's low rumble can travel right across the African plains?
  • Sea otters wrap their babies in seaweed so they won't float away in the water?
  • American alligator babies travel in their mothers' huge mouths?

Cheerful watercolor artwork and a picture book format make this title especially appealing for young children and a wonderful resource for learning about the animal world for the first time.

A Who's Who guide at the end of the book provides additional details about each species and its habitat, encouraging additional questioning and research for the older child.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great subject matter and format, September 12, 2007
By 
M.E.G.R. (Southern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Amazing Things Animals Do (Hardcover)
A collection of short "stories" (about half page of text, the rest of each two-page spread is illustration) about various animals. They are divided into chapter categories: animals who help each other, animals babies, animals who hide and save their food, how animals talk to each other. We got this when my daughter was 3.5 and she was able to sit still for a few pages at a time and enjoy it. Now that she is 5 I consider it part of our science homeschool curriculum. Very good illustrations, and interesting subject matter for both kids and adults. Each animal description stands alone but it's a pretty thick book, so you can choose a short or long reading session.
I gave it 5 stars because it is difficult to find good "readaloud" material for younger kids that has enough words per page to encourage listening skills and imagination, but yet the content is appropriate and interesting for them.
