Children's Literature
Young children are fascinated by animals, particularly the strangest and most exotic animals. This is a handy guide to 150 wild and domestic animals and scientific terms associated with animals. Its compact size(8 x 6) makes it perfect for smaller hands, and the photographs and illustrations included on each page give a visual explanation to accompany the text. Fact boxes and cross-references are also found on many pages. A brief glossary and index are included at the end. While the descriptions do not go into great detail, they provide just enough information to satisfy a quick craving. Of note are the many pictures that show children interacting with the animals. 2001, Kingfisher, $11.95. Ages 5 to 10. Reviewer: Carol Lynch
