Customer Reviews

These really are INCREDIBLE!

I picked up this book in a free box at a garage sale... how anyone could part with this book is beyond me... it is phenomenal.As you might guess from the "A to Z" title, this book is targeted by kids but I sincerely doubt that any adult has heard of all of these animals, much less seen pictures of them. Some rare, some common, but absolutely incredible creatures.The Lesser Anteater looks like a toy... absolutely precious. Then there is the Axolotl... something that looks like a cross between a salamander, a koosh ball and a beanie baby... it even has a smile! These aren't drawings, but up-close photographs of some of the most fascinating looking animals you've ever seen.The glasswing butterfly will make you take a double-take as will the musk deer... have you ever seen a deer with fangs before? I watch nature shows all the time, but I was surprised to see how many animals I to date had never heard of. Sure, some of them you will have seen before, such as the Manatee, but these won't be animals that are commonly known to children and any lover of animals, science and nature will adore looking at these bright photographs.
