The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Animals

More about the book

"This text has been carefully planned to simplify a very complex subject and has been broken down into three main sections. The first surveys the invertebrates, including sponges and corals, slugs and insects. The next deals with vertebrates and takes in animals from the birds which fill our skies to the giraffe that grace the plains of Africa and the sharks that roam our oceans. Finally, we study the primates, from monkeys to the gorilla, and the group most closely related to humans in the animal kingdom."--BOOK JACKET.
