This book is filled with wonderful photos, a large variety of them per specie group. I only found one issue with the book, two of the photos have dark edges and some of the text runs into this edge, causing it to be a little harder to read. This book would be a wonderful addition (as an encyclopedia) to an already existing animal science curriculum or to use as an additional resource for a research paper. The information is easy enough for a 3rd grader to understand but in depth enough for an 8th grader to use as an additional resource. I know that this book will be helpful in our homeschool for years to come. I look forward to sharing the many wonders of God's world that are pictured in this book.
You can find a copy of this book on Christian Book Distrubitors (http://www.christianbook.com/world-of-animals-martin-walters/9780890516171/pd/516171?product_redirect=1&Ntt=516171&item_code=&Ntk=keywords&event=ESRCP#curr). I feel that the price being asked for this hardcover book on this site, is reasonable for the amount of information you are getting with in it's pages (247 pages to be exact). It covers everything from Simple Animals (examples: Protists, Sponges, and Coral Reefs), to Insects & Other Arthropods (examples: Beetles and Weevils, Dragonflies and Damselflies, and Spiders), to Mammals (examples: Insect Eaters, Large Rodents, Dogs, Foxes and Hyenas, and Gibbons).
