The National Geographic Little Kids Big Book of Animals is an adorable animal reference sure to be welcomed by parents and librarians alike. Filled with fluffy and scaly creatures big and small, this appealing book introduces the youngest explorers to the world of wildlife, using a child-friendly format inspired by the blockbuster National Geographic Little Kids magazine. This exciting new reference for the very young mirrors the magazine's square shape, readable fonts, and fun content, to keep little ones thrilled with every colorful page.
Little Kids Big Book of Animals devotes four pages each to 32 high-interest creatures, including dolphins, tigers, butterflies, frogs, penguins, wolves, and pandas. More than 150 of National Geographic's most charming animal photos illustrate the profiles, which feature just the kind of facts that little kids want to know—the creature's size, diet, home, and more.
Child-friendly text explains how animal parents take care of their young, how baby animals change as they grow, and how they learn to hunt and eat. The brief text, large type, and appealing profiles are perfect for young readers to enjoy on their own, or for parents and other caregivers to read aloud. These animal tales will quickly become favorites at storytime, bedtime, and any other time.
My Take on the BookThis book is truly an amazing resource for your young child. It contains animals from all over the world in beautiful photographs with simple language your young child will understand. The photographs will captivate the attention of your child. There are so many photos of the baby animals.
There is map and glossary at the end of the book which gives excellent details showing the location of the animals. The glossary will assist you in explaining terms in the book to your child.
There are two very useful parent tips pages at the end of the book. These tips will enable you to extend the information your child and you are reading.
The book in divided into five sections of animals. The sections are animals of the grasslands, the desert, the forest, the ocean and the polar regions.
I would like to choose one animal from each section and share some information with you:
GRASSLANDS: A Giraffe's tongue is 18 inches long , and it only sleeps two hours a day.
OCEAN: A Short-head Seahorse is a fish whose eyes can look in two entirely different directions.
DESERT : A Desert Jerboa looks similar to a mouse but has long legs and hops like a kangaroo.
FOREST: The Gray Wolf lives in a pack and can eat up to 20 pounds of meat each day. ( This meal is equivalent to 18 hamburgers.)
POLAR: A Harp Seal can hold its breath underwater for 20 minutes.
I hope these few facts entice you to view this book on your own. I am confident your young child will visit this book often after you read it to him/her.
