Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-8?A useful exploration of the anatomy of 31 animals, including insects, marine creatures, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and dinosaurs. Clear, colorful cross-section diagrams with explanatory labels along with brief text that provides scientific classification and other facts reveal nature's complex machinery. Some animals are not easily found elsewhere, such as the mole, beaver, stingray, clam, and flea, and there's a good explanation of how the baby kangaroo fits in its mother's pouch. Ted Dewan's Inside the Whale and Other Animals (Doubleday, 1992) offers similar information for this age group with a touch of humor, but features only 21 animals. Jinny Johnson's Skeletons (Reader's Digest, 1994), while eye-catching and dramatic in its presentation, is not as detailed or as broad in scope as Ruiz's book. A welcome addition for reports as well as for browsing.?Kathleen McCabe, East Meadow Public Library,

This review is from: Animals On The Inside: A Book Of Discovery & Learning (Paperback)

This book is great! It gives a brief overview of 35 different animals, with interesting descriptions of each animal and a large colorful picture of the insides with the outer view as well. I enjoy using it in my preschool class even though it is "rated" for ages 9 -12. With its bright pictures and informative tidbits, it would make a great gift for children 3 - 12. Excellent for Christian centers as there are no references to evolution. You've got to see it!

This is a good tool to use in teaching grade school ages the internals of animals. The pictures are excellent but not gory. This purchase completely fills the bill I intended it for.
