Animals drawn at a scale that shows muscle, bone and feather turn a reference book into something worth staring at.
The hardcover runs to 288 pages, moving through mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and invertebrates with computer-generated artwork built from scientific reference. Because the age range stretches from four to eleven, younger children can use the pictures while older ones read the captions and data panels beside them.
Why it earns shelf space:
• 288 hardcover pages covering the main animal groups
• Detailed artwork modelled on scientific reference
• Captions and data panels for older readers alongside the images
• A range broad enough for four- to eleven-year-olds
Fits family bookshelves and primary school libraries, published by DK Children and available through Boipoka.
