Description
Meet more than 2,500 amazing animals in this comprehensive, family-fun, global reference guide from Animal Planet — your source for all things animals. Get up close and personal with the diverse species that share our world and discover the many ways animals are just like us!
Animal Planet Animals: A Visual Encyclopedia profiles the seven major animal classes — mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, arthropods, and other invertebrates — and features more than 1,000 stunning color photographs of animals in action. A giant removable poster showcases record-breaking animal kingdom facts and Animal Planet L!VE bonus videos transport readers from the book page directly to animals in their natural habitats around the world. Additional book features include a comprehensive glossary, index, and study resources for extended learning in geography, climate change, biology, and ecosystems, plus Animal Planet's R.O.A.R (Reach Out. Act. Respond.) facts throughout discuss conservation and animal rescue efforts.
Highly accessible for both curl-up reading and dip-in reference needs, care has been taken to offer animal lovers less work and more wow by weaving the taxonomic and biological information throughout the individual sections rather than putting it all up front. Specialist authors and life science experts provide the most up-to-date view of the animal kingdom, making it an ideal homework helper and a crucial family reference for the school years and beyond.
A beautiful gift for any animal lover, a portion of proceeds benefits R.O.A.R. (Reach Out. Act. Respond.), Animal Planet's project dedicated to improving the lives of animals in our communities and in the wild.

a wonderful resource, with excellent visuals and easy to read details about a variety of characteristics of the different animals. Broken into categories, for example mammals, and reptiles, and birds, etc. with a good breakdown of what makes each stand out. If nothing else, the visuals alone are worth it. It would be a good resource for young students, and also a fun read for adults. Would definitely highly recommend this book, and it would make a wonderful present.
Barbara O, Educator
Fabulous nonfiction informational book for children and adults. Lots of interesting facts, photographs, and maps. A perfect book for an animal enthusiast or for students learning about the structure of informational books.

A wonderful teaching tool. This encyclopedia is full of wonderful facts and beautiful pictures. There is something for everybody. My daughter is still reading and spends the day, spouting fact after fact that she learned here.
I would recommend to any age level and to educators, looking for a new tool to teach with. It is a very fun book, with lots to learn.
Naomi W, Librarian
I love this book. This book never stays on the shelf but about 24 hours. Everyone that sees it wants to learn more about the animals inside. I have read it many times and always find something new and interesting with every read. I was given an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Denise G, Librarian
