Beautiful layout and packed with interesting facts
My son is very interested in animals, so I figured this book would be right up his alley. He's had multiple animal encyclopedias over the years, or has checked them out of the library, so what I like about this particular one is its take on how climate change is affecting animal biomes. The book is divided by region, grouping together animals that inhabit those regions. It's by no means a comprehensive look at the vast biodiversity of each region. Rather, it's a collection of examples of animals affecting by the changes to their environments, but it features a good variety of these animals, everything from mammals to sea life to birds and beyond. At the beginning of the book is a key breaking down what the classifications are for how close an animal is to extinction. Within each subsection, animals get a one or two-page spread. Each spread is colorful and features illustrations and a variety of photographs. Each animals page or pages includes facts about them, including their size, diet, scientific name, etc. Some spreads also include additional trivia, such as folklore or historical facts. For instance, the narwhal page includes short paragraphs about Queen Elizabeth I receiving a narwhal tusk, and one about an Inuit folktale about narwhals. This is truly a beautiful book. Even as an adult, paging through it is both fascinating and sobering. The variety of wildlife featured is amazing, and it's heartbreaking to read about the various threats to each animal's survival. If you're looking for a book that not only educates kids about animals but that provides them with insight on how humans affect those animals, this is a good choice.
