Customer Reviews

Loved it!

Great introduction to science and nature for my young children (5, 3, 2) who will be homeschooled. Very simple and understandable facts. Pictures are extremely realistic which I prefer to many other children's books which show cartoon like drawings of animals that don't give my children an accurate perception of the animals they are learning about. I bought a few books in this series at once. I plan to buy the entire series.

Excellent Book!!!!

This whole series is great, especially if you live in U.S. Features common mammals they are likely to see (muskrat, squirrel, raccoon, etc.). Great pictures, little text -- perfect for very young children.

My 2 y.o. son likes this book a lot.

My son really enjoys all of the books in this series. I like that the illustrations are realistic and that species names are included. And as he gets older he really enjoys the additional information that's included in the back of the book!
