Publisher's Description of Pocket Genius: Animals
Pocket Genius: Animals highlights the lives of nearly 200 animals — what they eat, what eats them, where they live, and how big they are. From tiny bees to the mighty elephant, the animal kingdom is celebrated with fun facts and images of the tallest, fastest, heaviest, and largest domestic and wild animals on the planet.
Redesigned in paperback, DK's best-selling Pocket Genius series is now available in an engaging compact and economical format that is ideal for both browsing and quick reference for use in school and at home. Catalog entries packed with facts provide at-a-glance information, while locator icons offer immediately recognizable references to aid navigation and understanding, and fact files round off the book with fun facts such as record breakers and timelines. Each pocket-size encyclopedia is filled with facts on subjects ranging from animals to history, cars to dogs, and from Earth to space and combines a child-friendly layout with engaging photography and bite-size chunks of text that will encourage and inform even the most reluctant readers.

Why did you choose this?
This will make for a quick review of the animal kingdom and the different classifications. The students will enjoy the pictures. I have a small class so I was able to purchase a classroom set.
