I purchased this book for my 9 year old grandson for Christmas. I bought the hardcover book so that he could save it to his collection. He loves animals and specifically requested a book on Tasmanian Devils. This book did not disapoint. The color photos were beautiful and the content of the book was well written and educational. It held his interest to the end, and he loves this book. I would highly recommend this book.

This review is from: Tasmanian Devils (Animal Scavengers) (Paperback)

I purchased this for my grandson, (11 years old), who was asking questions about Tasmanian Devils. The book was fascinating to him, and also, when he had a few of his buddies over, they were interested in reading it and learning more...in fact, they had a mini discussion that day about the book and tasmanian devils! I would recommend this book for youngsters from maybe 11 to 14, it seems like that is the age when they are very curious about these different animals.
