Incredible--- A must for any animal lover or student. February 3, 2003
This book is unbelievable from cover to cover. It's both a spectacular learning tool and a book that you'll keep forever and always refer to. It's been extremely helpful to me already as I continue through school toward a job working with animals and docenting at the zoo, and it would be equally as helpful to anyone of any age who shares this interest. The pictures are real and breathtakingly beautiful, and the book's organization couldn't be any easier or more perfect. I highly recommend this book as a reference or simply as a good read, because it is just as interesting and helpful either way. Animal is now the most beautiful book I own, and packed with interesting and vital information.
Buy this book! August 30, 2002
This book is simpy outstanding. Few books can rival the wide scope offered by Animal on a vast range of organisms which include invertebrates, birds, reptiles, mammals, fish, and amphibians. The book is adorned with magnificent color photos of each organism and a compact description that provides adequate amounts of info on the organism. Although some common species are excluded, it more than makes up for this with the amount of species covered. For every common species excluded, I ran across three new species I had never heard of. This book is an extraordinary guide to the vast array of wildlife in the world. There are few books that I have found as informative and enjoyable to read as Animal. It truly is a definitive guide to the world's wildlife and I highly recommend it.

This book is GREAT!It has lots of beautiful pictures.Many animals that are in here I've neve even heard of!The animals are not in detail though and don't expect to see any regular animals,like just a plain stingray.Very good information about habitats and endangered species.If you love animals, BUY THIS BOOK!!!
Best Animal Book Ever August 20, 2002
This is one of the best books I have ever seen - the photography is amazing - the text well written, the science solid and up to date... It is an outstanding effort in every way and the team that put it together should be awarded. Every library should have it and every school. A great gift for animal lover such as myself. Its on my coffee table and will be read for many months to come.
