Description:
If your child has an insatiable curiosity for animals, you can’t go wrong with this brand new series developed exactly with kids in mind.
World Book has long known that kids adore animals. Year after year our most popular articles have been ones on the animal world. Little did we know how popular these new books on animals would be with our young readers. Animals of the World focus on animals that arouse a child’s curiosity: kangaroos, owls, rattlesnakes, and ants, just to name a few. These books provide a wealth of verbal and visual information about the animals. It’s the combination of text and illustrations that make these books work.
Each volume focuses on a group of animals with something in common. Animals that are familiar to the children are presented first; followed by more exotic creatures they may have never seen before. Kids are fascinated.
Trust us. Trust World Book. These are books your kids will love.
