Incredible creatures - it's hard to believe some of them are real! Mama and I looked them all up on YouTube to see what they look like in real life - the pangolin is the funniest creature in the world!

This is an interesting book with good facts my only problem with Usborne books is why not use real pictures of these animals? Usborne does that in a lot of books gives good information but uses illustrations instead of actual pictures.

Very cute and informative. Some of the entries could use a little more meat on their bones, but a good read overall.

Very informative. I do wish they also included pictures of the actual animal, not just illustrations, but it works very well. Thank goodness for the pronunciation guide because I had no idea on some of them.

Part of the fun with this book is looking up photos and videos of these strange animals and learning more about them. Bonus: the pronunciation guide on each page.
