Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Gold foil-edged pages and a ribbon bookmark lend this anthology the feel of a keepsake volume. In lively prose, Hoare presents birds, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, insects, fish, and sea invertebrates from habitats worldwide. The passages describe the animals' characteristics, along with intriguing details: "The ground pangolin plods along on its back legs because of its huge, powerful front claws." Bright, close-up photographs are set against ornate pastel backgrounds, while the spreads also include affectionate, matte renderings of each subject. A luxe introduction to the animal kingdom.
