Hey, why is that funny-looking monkey on TV hanging upside down? Is
that fuzzy, chubby guy in the back yard a woodchuck or a groundhog?
Now you can find answers to these and hundreds more questions and
curiosities right at your fingertips Featuring 2,500 species and
packed with stunning color photographs, amazing animal facts, maps,
and more, the new "National Geographic Kids Animal Encyclopedia" is
the most comprehensive on the market today, amazing and
entertaining readers, while providing them with authoritative
information about the animal kingdom. Kids love to look at animals
and this book showcases more than 1,000 gorgeous color photographs
as only National Geographic--the leader in wildlife
photography--can. Thematic spreads take readers through animal
homes and habitats, senses and communication, life cycle and
babies, movement and migration, defenses, camouflage, and
adaptation, and endangered animals and conservation. Special
features in each section include ANIMAL PROFILES spreads that focus
in-depth on a particular animal and ANIMAL RECORDS spreads that
highlight superlatives such as fastest, tallest, smallest, etc.
Exclusive FROM-THE-FIELD reports, that focus on National Geographic
explorers and their stories about the animals they study, can only
be found in "this" animal encyclopedia, adding to its entertainment
and educational value.
Animals are organized by taxonomy within each section (mammals,
birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates), accompanied
by common and scientific name, fact boxes (featuring lifespan,
habitat, and size) and text describing diet, special features, and
any other pertinent information. Symbols representing conservation
and habitat status highlight a high-interest topic for kids, while
color-coding on each section provides for ease of navigation.
Backmatter will include a listing of animal species along with
basic information including name (scientific and common), lifespan,
diet, size, and habitat. A comprehensive glossary, index, and "find
out more" section round out this must-have resource.
