    themulhern: Thorns's illustrations are really quite good, and so are Jenkins's. They are even somewhat similar in their artistic qualities.

This is such a great book to read aloud with students. It talks about different characteristics of animals and has great visuals to correlate with the infographics about certain animals. Great for a science or animal unit for 2nd-5th grade. ( )

This book could be overwhelming for some kids but would be good for 3rd grade and older. This book starts out with a page on why numbers are important and how we can use them to convey facts and information about animals. I liked that it didn't start out on page one but gave the "why" this book is in graphs and some on reading tips. I would use this not only to show my kids animal facts but to get them used to reading graphs and have activities of finding information within a graph and the different types of graphs. The pictures are all so colorful and the images are beautiful and there were some types of graphs that I had forgotten about such as the size of the circle representing the biomass of an animal and this reminded me of teaching kids ratios and relationships in weight and height by using images and graphs. There were also timelines and maps and arrays. I could see combining this into a math and science lesson. ( )

I love the illustration of this book and how they have pictures of all animals and the diagrams to show animals in category. colors are bright and it's very soft.

This book is filled with animal related infographics. There are infographics about diffrent species, how animals are classified, how much diffrent animals weight, and many more.

I am normally off-put by books that are a giant collection of facts, but this book was structured in a more unique way (more unique than anything I've encountered, anyway). It presents different facts about animals in a wide variety of infographics. My personal favorite was a flow chart that detailed the fight or flight process of an armadillo, presenting questions like "can it eat me?" "can I outrun it?" etc. I think that this book would be well loved by students, as it gives some interesting facts in really visually interesting ways, and could also be a good resource for students to use for research of independent exploration.
