Excellent life-science "textbook"

I use this book almost as a textbook to homeschool my first-grader in the life sciences. We decided to concentrate on animals this semester and this book works very well on its own or teamed with a science encyclopedia/school text. It has just enough information to engage a child without being too wordy and the colorful pictures are a real plus! I love the Complete Book series and already own more than 5 including the Math Games, Spanish and Question & Answer titles and I am so glad I purchased the Animals title too. Truly well planned for busy moms like me!

great for homeschoolers!

I am a Homeschooling Mom of two boys (1st grade) and we love this book! They each have their own copy and it is a great way to teach not only about the animals but also about writing. We also use this as reading comprehension work. On day 1 of the material, I read out loud to them and they underline key phrases and words. Day 2, they read it out loud to me. It has been a great resource for us to teach them "researching". The questions are straight from the text and teaches them the basics for answering question using complete sentences. I highly recommend this book.

Great book

This is a wonderful book to have around the house. You can find information on many types of animals such as the Bald Eagle, Chinchilla, Sloth Bear, and African Elepant. You can also use this book to help make a geography lesson more interesting. The book has a section for each continent along with sections such as Science and Animals, Favorite Pets, and Farm Animals.

They've done it again

As with the other books in this series, the publisher has done it again. A thorough, engaging, and educational book!
