In the same series as the New Children's Encyclopedia and DK children's encyclopedias of Science, Art, and Geography (among others), this updated animal encyclopedia will be a valuable reference source for children, parents, and educators. From the latest research to recent numbers on populations, this book gives you all the information you need about animals on land, in water, and in the air.

Filled with more than 700 photographs, habitat maps, and illustrations, Animals- a children's encyclopedia helps children and parents learn about the rich variety of animal life on our planet.

At a time in history when climate change and habitat loss are profoundly affecting animals, this book also helps educate children about all the creatures in the world that are at risk of vanishing forever.
