1. Summary
This National geographic book called "Mammals", it showa pictures and words discribing what a mammal is. There is many pictures of the mammals in their natural habbitats. It shows behaviors and habbits of mammals around the world.

Most national geographic books are written the way this one is, especially the ones aimed toward young children. The book would be considered nonfiction because it has a clear purpose. Also, everything in the book is true and prooved to be true. It is an educational book.

I grew up with this book (was two volumes back then) and it ingrained in me a lifelong fascination and appreciation for animals and biology.
Buy this for your kids and leave it around for them to pick up from time to time. I pored over every page of it for a large part of my childhood.
