The World of Animals is a wonderful introduction to the classifications of the animal kingdom. The first section covers Simple Animals like protists, sponges, hydroids, and coral. The following sections are Worms, Snails & Starfish; Insects and Other Arthropods; Fish; Amphibians & Reptiles; Birds; and Mammals.

This hard back book of 256 pages is high quality with an eye-catching holographic picture of a tiger integrated on the cover. The World of Animals would be good for 3rd to 9th grade...more

The World of Animals
By Martin Walters & Jinny Johnson

This was first published by Parragon Publishing and is a hard cover edition republished by My Father’s World and Master Books by Martin Walters & Jinny Johnson. It has 247 pages including a glossary and an index.
It has every animal imaginable, and some that aren’t, included in this book. Everything from the Micro-World of Protists to Chimpanzees and everything in between. I liked one of the paragraphs on the first page: “This cataclys...more

This book is AMAZING! What a collection of pictures and information about all kinds of animals (and insects!) for kids!

As my son and I were looking through The World of Animals together we were amazed as we flipped each page.

You should have heard the oohs and ahhs and "Mommy, look at this!"s. (Is that a word?! lol)

Of course he learned more about and saw pictures of some of his favorite creatures (like sharks and monkeys and big cats). But he also learned about some creatures he has never heard...more

The World Of Animals is a fascinating resource!

With over 1000 animals included, The World Of Animals takes a look at their anatomy, behavior and habits.

This book is simply incredible! It breaks the animal world down into seven categories: simple animals; worms, snails and starfish; insects and other arthropods; fish; amphibians and reptiles; birds; and mammals.

Each category is then broken down into numerous sub-topics.These are examined in great detail, but without being overly scientific.

Each...more

My kids LOVE animals. No seriously they LOVE LOVE LOVE learning about animals, seeing different kinds of animals, and asking millions of questions about animals. Hubby is very interested in reptiles and has owned several different types of reptiles over the years so I think they got their fascination from him. Anyhow when this HUGE book called World of Animals arrived with a very cool picture of a tiger on the front, Apple & Speedy were stoked! They plopped down and dug right in.

If you have children (or yourself) that loves to study and look at stunning pictures and facts about animals but don’t want to put a book with evolutionary ideas in their hands then I have just the book for you! Normally I would wait a week to post a review for this type of book but as soon as it arrived on our doorstep we dived into it. This book in one word is AMAZING! but that isn’t enough for you to go on when it comes to why you really should buy this book (although I say this a lot about t...more

The World of Animals is a large, beautiful book that is eye catching to say the least. When I opened the first page I was immediately captivated by the format and layout of the book. With over 250 pages, it is organized to study animals from simple to complex, with "see inside" cutaway views, illustrations, photographs, sidebar boxes, and informative text that provide a just-right introduction to the animal type.

In the introduction (A World Full of Animals) the book starts off quoting Genesis 1...more

Wow!

The pictures in this book are incredible and include both real-life photos and hand drawn images. My kids and I truly enjoyed looking through this book over and over again. Besides the awe-evoking pictures, there are so many interesting facts about so many animals included. Animals from the simplest protists along with critters from every animal group are covered.

This book is ideal as a reference material for a homeschooling class or for any child that loves to learn more about animals. We w...more

My thoughts- I think this book is a wonderful addition to any homeschool or library.

I like the-

color photos and illustrations
charts listing main characteristics of animals
dividing of animals into sections in the “Table of Contents” from simple animals (jellyfish) to complex (mammals)

I highly recommend this book. It was fun and informational to read.

Disclosure of Material Connection- I received The World of Animals for free from Master Books, a division of New Leaf Publishing Group. I was not...more
