Review

This attractive book provides the basics of animal classification. It is not useable for report writing however it will spur interest that will send children back to the shelves (or internet) seeking more information. An informative chart follows the sometimes rhyming text which list characteristics of amphibians, birds, fish, mammals and reptiles. The use of digi-woodcuts was a good choice for the illustrations. The least attractive however found its way to the cover.

Overall Book Score: good
