Rather unique look at kangaroos. Good book if you can get it.
This is a very interesting, unique book about kangaroos. It shows you both the regular shots of kangaroos, along with interesting text, but also, you get a firsthand look at the anatomy, muscles, heart, womb, embryo, joey, etc. of the kangaroo. This is good for the future (child) veteranarian, or doctor. It is a good book to introduce the concept of an embryo or fetus to...

Outside and Inside Kangaroos
Although this book contains incredible photographs I am reviewing it unfavorably based on the age range (4-8). I bought it to use in a Kindergarten classroom. The pictures are too explicit revealing internal organs, stomach and undigested food, the womb, leg muscles and tendons. Luckily, I looked at it before putting it in the classroom. I feel that the students...

Outside and Inside Kangaroos,
This review is from: Outside and Inside Kangaroos (Hardcover)
Although this book contains incredible photographs I am reviewing it unfavorably based on the age range (4-8). I bought it to use in a Kindergarten classroom. The pictures are too explicit revealing internal organs, stomach and undigested food, the womb, leg muscles and tendons. Luckily, I looked at it before putting it in the classroom. I feel that the students would have been frightened, not only by the graphic nature of the pictures but also by wondering how the pictures were taken. Akin to a dissection book. Definitely for older children and even then, for those not squeamish.

This is good for the future (child) veteranarian, or doctor. It is a good book to introduce the concept of an embryo or fetus to a child as well. This book is unique, I'd never seen anything like it in the classroom.

The beauty of this series is the slightly gruesome nature of the photographs. While adults may wrinkle their noses and say "Ick," elementary school children find them very appealing. Kids especially enjoy knowing their elders are "grossed out" by the pictures!

THANKS FOR THE REALITY,
By A Customer
This review is from: Outside and Inside Kangaroos (Hardcover)
THIS IS A WONDERFUL BOOK. IT HAS PROVEN TO BE SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS. CHILDREN GET BORED SKIMMING THE PRETTY SIDE OF LIFE OVER AND OVER BECAUSE ADULTS DON'T HAVE THE PATIENCE AND ANSWERS IT TAKES TO BE HONEST. CHILDREN KNOW THAT THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN WHAT THEY ARE SHOWN. KANGAROOS ARE SOME OF THE MOST COMPLEX ANIMALS IN THE WORLD (POUCHES AND HOPPING ARE THE LEAST OF IT). THIS BOOK SHOWS THAT IN A WAY THAT IS NOT "GROSS"; BUT, REAL, HONEST AND EDUCATIONAL.
