From aardvark to zebra this volume is an excellent introduction into the world of birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians, fish, insects,and other invertebrates. It is informative, concisely written,and beautifully illustrated for the 8 to 13 year old child. Consultants for each animal classification are among Britain's and America's top scientists and teachers. In all, it's just what you'd expect from the National Geographic Society

Written with the collaborations of capable advisors, this is the book, which any kid who wants to journey into the animal kingdom would appreciate.
Essential for both primary and secondary school children, the coverage of this book is good: just as its details are moderate. It is colourful, well-illustrated, and embraced a wide variety of species.
In addition to its complementary cladograms, this "National Geographic Animal Encyclopedia" included habitat details of each animal; as well as their simplified taxonomies. It is a carefully arranged atlas, whose outlook is educative. A good insight into the Kingdom Animalia!

My son received this as a present when he was 4 1/2, since then my son knows more animals and animal facts that I can even keep track of. He know what part of the world they are from, if the animals live in fresh water or salt water, etc. He loves this book, takes it everywhere he goes and I buy it for every birthday party we go to. You can't beat this book.

I had to buy this book because my son wanted it so bad... (He now knows how to surf the amazon.. so problem..)
Book is good, but never again going to be second hand.. Book was so worn out that the cover paper tore off on the first day.

This is such a great book! We had checked this out at the library for my 5 1/2 yr old son and he enjoyed it so much he checked it out again. I decided to buy the book for him and got a great price on a great used version. He will be able to enjoy this book for several years to come because it's really geared towards older kids. Beautiful pictures of almost every type of animal imaginable.

National Geographic speaks for itself. Amazon is my preferred online shopping and has been for years. It's easy, fast, and efficient. Five Stars...

This is an excellent book both in pictures and information. My two look at it
all the time. Ton of great info. Younger child can look at great illustrations
and photos while older kids can read all the details of each animal. Has inspired
all sorts of questions and comments. VERY fun and educational. Highly recommend!

My boys use this book a lot for both fun and school and we all have learned a lot from it. Definitely recommend it.

I bought this book for my 7 year old son. He is a nature fanatic and this book has been used multiple times a day for a year now and is still in excellent condition. This book is very clearly written with nice pictures. It provides information but not too much for young children. I would recommend it for a general overview of animals.
