...moreFun, "did you know" way facts populate the pages of the encyclopedia, and while the book can't comprehend every species on Globe, it does a slap-up task promoting a large multifariousness. An especially slap-up aspect of the volume is that it contains a chart with the common name, size, habitat data, and nutrition of every fauna, forth with details on how endangered (or not) each creature is at this time.

Professional Review: Roofing the animal kingdom in a 304-page book is no easy job; the recorded number of species and sub-species is listen boggling, equally well as in constant flux (as extinction takes away, conservation and discovery replenish). This update of the 2000 edition offers more than double the content. It crams in useful fast facts about at least 2500 animals, while easing the information overload with "Field Reports" on loftier-interest animals and some rather spectacular whole-spread photographs. Before the title dives into the dissimilar classes of the fauna kingdom, an introductory chapter discusses life cycles and young, senses and communication, migration, homes and habitats, and adaptations for survival. Data about the endangered status of some species and near conservation efforts is also included. Because the book aims to represent as much brute diversity as possible, entries are not listed alphabetically but by animal group within the larger grade. Users seeking a specific animate being will be reliant on the index to discover whether the brute they want is included or not. Side boxes tend to become buried amidst the entries, merely since the encyclopedia is designed for browsing and discovery, that is a minor issue. The decision to use photographs instead of illustrations, which make upwards the bulk of the previous edition, adds to the vibrancy of this volume. An fantabulous addition to school and public libraries alike, for both reference and apportionment.–Kara Schaff Dean, Walpole Public Library, MA (SLJ, 2013)
