From Booklist
Like People and Places, the other title currently available in the World of Wonder series, this large, jacketed volume is based on Triefeldt’s weekly, syndicated newspaper columns, also called World of Wonder. Tightly packed with highly detailed, exciting science, every 10-x-14-inch page contains information about a central topic organized in a variety of ways, often in long columns and captions, and includes lots of small, crystal-clear color illustrations. The topics are arranged alphabetically, and include both general natural sciences topics (animal homes, the Florida Everglades) and specific animals (anteaters, turtles, vultures, wolves). Triefeldt describes complex zoology accessibly but never condescendingly. Whether the subject is the traits that mammals share, the geological time scale, or the benefits of biodiversity, each entry in this handsome volume offers a trove of dense, up-to-date biology that will attract browsers, then entice them to pore over every word. Grades 4-8. --Hazel Rochman
