bought for 1st grader
14 April 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This was bought as part of our home school curriculum and I have since found that usbone books tend to not be my favorite. (Don't freak out yet) I know everyone loves these books but for me and my kids, the pages are too packed. There are a lot of smaller pictures with boxes and bubbles with snippets of information and trivia. I do like that is it written in a simple english form for young readers but the internet links aren't always what we are looking for and often we don't even look. We went with a different publisher for our science encyclopedia needs. Harder to find used and more expensive but 'king fisher' books are worth every penny. We love usborne board books and have so many of their readers, but once we got to the "educational" level, they got too visually crowded and overwhelmed our family.

Kids Love Animals!
25 Mar 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
My children (2 and 3) love this book. Much of it is over their heads, but they learn a little more each time they read through it. I was expecting the book to be about specific animals, but found that it covers animal groups (mammals, reptiles, etc.). I'm fine with that. The kids love learning the differences in mammals and birds!
I did not give this book 5 stars because I felt it was disjointed in the terminology. It goes from mammals, reptiles, and amphibians to "creepy-crawlies" and "water life." I wish they would keep the same level of technicality throughout.
Overall, this is a good book! It has lots of information for your little one to pour over.

Format:Paperback
I use this book as part of my 1st grade science curriculum. The information is substantial but easy to understand. The pictures are great as well.
