(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Animals A Children's Encyclopedia (Visual Encyclopedia) (Hardcover)
My daughter (4) got this for her birthday and I am so impressed, I have got one for my nephew. The pictures are bright and interesting and it is a comprehensive guide to all animals. Lots of good facts are included to make it an interesting read without it being too large to use. It looks to me like it will last for a long while too and help with school wok in years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super present, 22 Nov 2010
This review is from: Animals A Children's Encyclopedia (Visual Encyclopedia) (Hardcover)
This was for my daughter's 9th birthday. We didn't get the book in time for her actual birthday but the minute it got to our house she couldn't get her eyes off it. She loves nature and everything that has to do with animals so this book was a big hit. She loves flicking the pages and reading about the animals, checking out the icons that easily tells you the basics like how long this animal lives, where to find it, how big it is etc. Even me and my husband found it interesting to find out the life span of a shark or even an ant. My daughter and her younger brother (he is 6) asks for "Only 10 minutes Mama" every night before bed and sit in her bed together flicking the pages. This book will live a long life. Fantastic purchase.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Animals A Children's Encyclopedia (Visual Encyclopedia) (Hardcover)
This is an exclellent book, with plenty of interest in the colour photographs to keep children engrossed for ages. It is a good reference book, well written and printed on good quality paper. While it is written for children it is also a good reference for adults and can be a good source of conversation between adult and child.

    Will Dean's Ideas Factory: Billr app means an end to asking 'Why am I paying for your steak?'

    Trending: Hardbacks vs e-books: the sequel

    In the world of journalism it's called a "reverse ferret" - a story breathlessly announcing that Black is White, just 24 hours after confidently asserting that Black is Black. In the genteel environs of publishing, it's a volte-face. Whatever it is, James Daunt, owner of Daunt Books and managing director of the Waterstones chain, executed a classic twirl at the weekend.

    Invisible Ink: No 124 - Hans Fallada

    His pen-name was created from two characters in Grimm's fairy tales, but his novels had little in common with the moralistic fantasies of mittel-Europe. Rudolf Ditzen was a magistrate's son, raised in Berlin and immersed in Dickens, Flaubert and Dostoevsky. He became one of the greatest German authors of the 20th century, but was not translated into English until 2009.

    The curious world of Norton Juster

    Some people are very easy to interview. Norton Juster is not one of them. He's delightful and articulate, but listening to the recording of our time together, it's striking how much more interesting his answers are than my questions. So our conversation entirely failed to resolve classics such as "Where did the idea for your book come from?" and ended up instead about vocational education, bipolar disorder, obscure Edwardian ghost-story writers, C P Snow, synaesthesia and the walks Juster used to take with his older brother. In some respects, it's hardly surprising; Juster has been giving interviews about his children's classic The Phantom Tollbooth for half a century, so might be forgiven for wanting his conversations to roam elsewhere.

    How Aharon Appelfeld chronicled the Holocaust

    Blooms of Darkness, in Green's graceful, grave and irresistibly readable English version, tells the story of Hugo, a young Jewish boy in an occupied town in eastern Europe who loses his parents to the camps but stays alive thanks to the shelter and salvation offered him by a local prostitute, Mariana. It extends and deepens one of the most remarkable journeys in all modern literature. In a prolific career whose highlights include novels such as Badenheim 1939, Tzili, The Immortal Bartfuss and The Iron Tracks, as well as the memoir The Story of a Life, Appelfeld has interrogated the meaning of what happened to him, to his community, and to humanity itself, during Europe's era of genocide.

    Gwendoline Riley: A portrait of the artist as a brooding young woman...

    Gwendoline Riley was finishing her first novel at the age that most of us were sleeping in, bunking off, or congregating around a pint at the student union bar. Turning her university dissertation into her debut, Cold Water (2002) she signed a two-book deal at the age of 22. Since then, she has accumulated a hipster-ish following and several literary awards (Somerset Maugham Award, the Betty Trask Award, a John Llewellyn-Rhys Memorial prize shortlisted nomination).
