Perfect for my animal-loving son! July 31, 2002
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
Bought this for my son's 6th birthday after reading all the reviews. I am definitely impressed. It has beautiful pictures - to be expected from National Geographic. It also provides a map highlighting the habitat for each animal and a pronunciation key as well. The text is interesting but not too technical for younger readers and each animal gets more than just a paragraph or two. It will grow well with him. I highly recommend it.
Excellent Book for your Kids July 22, 2001

My son loves animals and received this book for Christmas two years ago. He continues to read this book every day. He is now six and this book have been his passion. He reads it to find out where each mammal lives and what he or she eats. What I found very good with this book was the fact that this was the book that helped him to start to read as well as got him interested in geography - "Dad, I didn't know that lemurs lived in Madagascar!" - What's a lemur and where is Madagascar? I have bought a number of other mammal's books for him, but he always comes back to this book, even with the scotch-taped pages and duct taped cover. I recommend this book to anyone.

I bought this book for my 4 year old grandson, who just loves animals. He shows the pictures to his 2 year old brother, and teaches him the names of the animals. They both love this book, and have spent many hours looking at it.

Instructive reference book on mammals for 3rd grade and up. October 31, 1998
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
This book is an excellent encyclopedic reference on mammals for children and adults alike. It has the high quality photographs that one would expect of National Geographic. The information on each mammal is detailed enough to hold interest, yet no so long as to become tedious. Best of all, it is readable by many precocious 3rd graders! Adults, however, should not be turned away. This is a great book for animal lovers of all ages.
