Customer Reviews

Great for kids!

My twin nieces are obsessed with the animal kingdom. I bought them this for their 5th birthday and it's been one year and they're still not bored with it! My brother says it's nice because when he reads with them he learns something new too!

Great resource, even for adults!

I bought this item for my fourth grade son because he had to do a report on an obscure animal. It was a wonderful help & I find that I enjoy it, too. An adult with ADD can really relate to the specific pictures and precisely edited text.
