I LOVE THESE GUIDES!...

I am completely delighted with "The Little Guides" series. The format is extremely user friendly, and each guide is packed with useful and interesting information. I enjoy reading them, but my 6 year old daughter gives them the most use. While the guides are written at an adult level, there is plenty that she can read and understand. I currently own "Sharks," "Birds," "Mammals," and "Space," and have ordered "Reptiles," "Whales," and "Flowers.""Sharks" is divided into three parts; the first includes topics on the world of sharks, shark behavior, and shark anatomy. Shark anatomy is very informative, covering such topics as the shark's skeletal system, gills, teeth, etc. Part two covers a wide variety of sharks (about 100 different species), and part three covers shark and human interaction, including shark attacks, the human threat to sharks, and where to observe sharks. The guide is extremely well done, with over 500 colorful illustrations.This is a great resource of adults as well as children!
