FUN BOOK!!, June 12, 2009
This review is from: Jungle Jack's Wackiest, Wildest, and Weirdest Animals in the World (Hardcover)
What a FUN book! This book is full of colorful pictures and fun facts about 30 animals from around the world. The book also includes a DVD with clips from Jack's adventures - bloopers, blunders, and behind-the-scenes looks. This book is a must have for any animal lover.
I love everything about this book. From the full-color pages of pictures and facts about each unique animal, to the layout and design of the book (each animal has one full page devoted to it), to the limitless opportunities to use the book to teach/learn about different animals and how God has created each one in its uniqueness. I can't wait to share the book with my kids - even now my daughter is begging to read it with me.

Fun Fact Book for Animal Lovers, February 17, 2010
This review is from: Jungle Jack's Wackiest, Wildest, and Weirdest Animals in the World (Hardcover)
I love Jack Hanna and this is a great book for animal lovers.
Each page features a different wacky, wild or weird animal with some basic facts (what they eat, where they live and how big they get), some colour photographs, an explanation of what makes them wacky and a few interesting facts. Some of the animals covered are: Blue-Footed Booby, Platypus, Flamingo, Puffer Fish, Great White Shark, Tasmanian Devil and Naked Mole Rat. Some pages also include a little snippet called "Jungle Jack Adventures" which is a tidbit about Jack Hanna and that animal.
As if that isn't enough fun, the book comes with a DVD of some bloopers from Jack Hanna's Into the Wild. It even has bloopers from way back in the 80s. We get to see Jack Hanna's daughter, who helped on the show. My only disappointment was that it was too short.
The back of the book has a short glossary and the book is big, which allows for large photographs and a good size font for children to read. I'd recommend this book for ages 8-12 to enjoy the information and a reading level of perhaps 9+

Another great animal book by Jack Hanna!, October 7, 2009
This review is from: Jungle Jack's Wackiest, Wildest, and Weirdest Animals in the World (Hardcover)
Which furry omnivore smells like popcorn? What sea monster has three hearts? How did the blue-footed booby get its name? Learn the answers to these questions and many more!
Filled with large, full-color glossy photos, this book explores some of the lesser-known creatures in the animal kingdom. Thirty animals, from the okapi to the armadillo and the naked mole rat to the puffer fish, each receive a full page of attention. The format offers wild facts at a glance (where do they live, what do they eat and how big do they get), longer story boxes (including history and some of Jungle Jack's adventures) and text bubbles with fascinating details.
It's perfect for parents of children with short or varied attention spans. You can choose what and how much to read without feeling like you're missing large chunks of content. And the information is interesting to kids and adults alike!
Bonus: the book comes with a DVD of bloopers from Jack Hanna's show. My kids love both the book and the video!
