As an adult I thoroughly enjoyed this book myself, I'm enthralled by beautifully illustrated reference books. I even learnt so much!! As a nanny, I find this book a fantastic piece of educational material, as my little charges are very interested in animals, and this book is a fantastic way for us all to sit down, and learn about animals from all over the world. Mr 2 enjoys this book the most, and has even learned of some new species of animasl, his favorite being the Mandril ! This book is a treasure to read, and the kids just love the beautiful images accompanied with the gorgeous artwork.I really, truly believe that the illustrations of a book is a HUGE make-or-break moment. And this makes it. It makes it perfect. This is a terrific information book about animals targeting 8 to 10 year olds with straightforward and accessible text and a constrained amount of information on each animal - two paragraphs + an interesting or unusual fact set out in different and bold font to match the heading. The first paragraph on each animal tends to focus on interesting or unique characteristics, the second provides information about habits, habitat, food etc - varying with each animal.

Každému zvieraťu je venovaná dvojstránka s ilustráciou, fotografiou a zaujímavosťami. Nenájdete tu teda základne info aké je zviera veľké,kde vo svete sa nachádza či ako vyzerá. Dozviete sa, čo je na ňom výnimočné a aké zaujímavé schopnosti ovláda. Did you know? Kiwis hunt at night. Their eyesight is poor, so they find creepy-crawlies to eat by smell and feel. Unusually, a kiwi's nostrils are at the tip of its bill, which it keeps poking into the earth as it walks to sniff out food. Zapanjujućom fotografijom i prekrasnim ilustracijama, ova enciklopedija istražuje divlje životinje svijeta, od najvećih kitova do najmanjih insekata. Antologija očaravajućih životinja oduševit će i nadahnuti djecu (ali i odrasle) koja vole životinje. Otkrit će nevjerojatne činjenice i fascinantne priče o svojim omiljenim životinjama, kao i nešto o onima za koje nikad nisu čuli! Otkrit ćete zašto je usporeni ljenjivac tako trom i još mnogo toga!
