A Must Have!
Review byRoshawnda
This book is Amazing!
The book is really large with huge vibrant pictures- perfect for viewing by multiple kiddos simultaneously. Tons of great facts that are easy enough for an elementary child to read and understand but interesting enough for all ages.

Wow!!!!
Review byCandice
What I love about most of the books by Masterbooks is the photography. They are truly beautiful! What I love even more is the interesting things to be learned!! This book has loads of great information as well as beautiful photos! I was given an eARC from Masterbooks to view but that in no way affected my review of this amazing book! I have it on my list to buy the hard copy for the next year or two of school!

Wonderful
Review byKaren
This book is huge! The pictures are amazing! My boys love reading through and learning about all the different animals. The pictures are plentiful, many of them full page. The detail of the pictures are amazing. For example, the birds, you can see the details of the feathers. I love all the fun facts. There is so much information for each animal, but it wouldn't be too overwhelming for lower elementary ages. It's great for the whole family! This would be a wonderful addition to anyone’s book collection.

Amazing Pictures!!
Review byTheresa
What an amazing resource! The photographs and layout are fantastic: large, and detailed!
The class, order, and species are given for each animal, as well as interesting facts about them, and lots of connections to the Bible throughout. It is so very readable, but not dumbed down.
This book is also used within the new Zoology curriculum. We had previously attempted Zoology with the older MB version, which used a different main book. It ended up being too difficult for my kids (beginning with Protista, which was too abstract to them at that time), so we had been saving it for a different year, and kind of forgot about it. This new book is so exciting, and is much more accessible for all age ranges. I think we will have to get the updated Zoology Teacher’s Manual, and try it again with this book!

Fabulous for Elementary Age Study of Animals!
Review byKristi
This is a book with marvelous pictures, clear text, and is just so FUN! It hardly seems like a book to learn a lot from, it's so pretty! We have used the book that this one was the re-make of. It was geared toward an older elementary student due to the very LARGE amount of content on each page. My son just turned 11 and he looked at this new one with me, and for he really liked this one, too. However, he was sad no red pandas were included in the new book! (LOL) He enjoyed God's World of Animals because he just really loves learning about living things. He felt like he learned a lot from that book. This new one is going to elicit the same response from kids who read it - they are going to learn so much from it, and if they are anything like my son, it'll be hard to pull them away! I don't think you can go wrong with this book, it is stunning! Truly, its so beautifully photographed and paced that any age person will enjoy it. We really enjoyed the Bible references for animals mentioned in the Bible as well! A hit!!
