I am a coordinator for a Science Museum and wanted to give this book to teachers in a workshop. Unfortunately this book is not totally scientifically correct. There is a lot of information that is inaccurate. It uses a lot of generalizations instead of keeping in mind the many exceptions in the animal kingdom that do not fit the main rules of their species. It also states that dinosaurs are descendants of lizards but research has proven that they were more closely related to birds. The only part of the book that is acceptable is the photographs of animals from around the globe. DK Publishing is usually very accurate with their science information however this time DK Publishing disappointed me.

I bought this book for my 6 and 9 year old boys. They love it. It's filled with awesome pictures, interesting facts and information, and it is well written and easy to understand. We usually read a section or two each night. It's become my 6 year old's favorite book to read.

My 6 yr old grandson loved this animal book. It has lots of pictures and he'll spend many hours looking at and learning about all different kinds of animals.

My 6 year old daughter is curious about the world and this was the perfect encyclopedia for her. She has read it everyday since we bought it a few weeks ago. It has a good combination of bright pictures with short text entries. I highly recommend it.
