REVIEW
As far as animal encyclopedia's go this one has a tremendous amount of information available for readers. I learned a great deal about all sorts of different animals from North America. Each animal or group of animals is briefly described followed by a list of interesting facts then information about the size, range, food, and predators of that animal. In addition there are special sections highlighting unique species from around the world as well as ideas for exploring the outdoors. A fun book for young animal lovers, the only thing I would have liked to have more of would be more illustrations and/or photographs. Each animal has one illustration connected to it, but it would have been nice to have more. But the space is full of facts that are bound to fascinate young readers who long to know more.
