5.0 out of 5 stars JUST WHAT THE TITLE SAYS IT IS, September 30, 2006

This review is from: Animal Fact/Animal Fable (Hardcover)

This is one of my favorites. The book is about just what the titles says. Facts and fables about animals. From dogs and cats to bulls and owls; from bees to turtles and beyond. This small volume is just packed with wonderful information for children (and I might include many adults also) and is very readable. The illustrations are finely done and they alone are well worth the price of the book. This is one that I see students constantly browsing through as they do not need to read it cover to cover. I like the way the author and illustrator go from rather cartoonish type creatures to very precise renditions of the creature being discussed. This helps hold the childs interest and adds a bit of zip to the book. The information is very accurate and the book has been very well researched. This is a good addition to your library or your schools library. Recommend it highly.
