Encyclopedia of Animals Review: A fantastic addition to your school library - We LOVE this book. It has been so abused over the few months we have had it!! I honestly am surprised it has not fallen completely apart. But it is holding strong. The facts in the book seem to correspond with other books we use and there is just enough information to not overwhelm my students. We currently use it along with the Elemental Science Biology books and it has been an great resource. I’m so glad I made the purchase versus getting one from the library! There are also many great pictures for each animal featured. Review: A must have for homeschoolers! - I purchased DK's Encyclopedia of Animals along with a few other books for an upcoming zoology study my kids will be doing in the near future. When received, I immediately flipped through the pages... and WOW! The pictures are amazing and what I would expect from a DK book! This encyclopedia is very informative and engaging not to mention HUGE. My son decided to look through it and was so excited by all the facts he didn't know about his favorite animals. My only regret is not purchasing this one in hardback because I know it will be used often (although the softcover seems very durable)! This book is a fantastic addition to my family's homeschool library. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #152,072 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #29 in Veterinary Encyclopedias #149 in Children's Encyclopedias (Books) #167 in Encyclopedias for Children | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (585) | | Dimensions | 8.5 x 0.98 x 10.87 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | Grade level | 5 - 4 | | ISBN-10 | 0756619726 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0756619725 | | Item Weight | 3.32 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 376 pages | | Publication date | August 21, 2006 | | Publisher | DK Children | | Reading age | 2 - 9 years, from customers | ## Images ![Encyclopedia of Animals - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Qh64bKzEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fantastic addition to your school library *by H***R on January 8, 2020* We LOVE this book.

We also purchased the First Encyclopedia of Animals - which he reads independently, but he loves all the information in the bigger book, even though he needs help with a lot of words! He will not be outgrowing this book for a long time. Lots of "I wonder" opportunities. Good for when you have 15-30 min before the next part of your day. I have already purchased 2 more for gifts - which inspired spontaneous "oh, cool" comments! Cover with contact paper because it will be well read. ## Frequently Bought Together - Encyclopedia of Animals - Janice VanCleave's Science Around the World: Activities on Biomes from Pole to Pole - Global Art: Activities, Projects, and Inventions from Around the World --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1610461-encyclopedia-of-animals](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1610461-encyclopedia-of-animals) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
