365 Incredible Animals

Laure Maj · 2016
76/100
👍 Worth It

A full-color photo-a-day animal book from Firefly Books is exactly what it promises — striking photography across the entire animal kingdom, digestible daily entries, and enough taxonomic variety to keep curious 9-to-12-year-olds coming back. It is more visual encyclopedia than deep science, but for a gift or a classroom browsing shelf it delivers reliably. The brief text per page is the only real limitation for kids who want to go deeper.
