First Encyclopedia of Animals David Burnie
With over 400 entries organized alphabetically, this encyclopaedia places particular emphasis on animals which children are likely to encounter, whether in life or in books, from aardvark, through gerbil and spiders, to zebra. The book's features include conservation; the 12 main habitats and the typical animals that live in them; and behaviour, communication, defence, evolution, feeding, and other main strands in animal life.
