In the book Animal Kingdom, Discover the extraordinary world of animals I learned many things about animals. I thought the coolest animal was the immortal jellyfish and here is a video about it:
This book is organized by the kind of animal they are talking about, for example fish, amphibians, reptiles, insects, birds and mammals. I liked how this part was organized because you could easily find the animal you were looking for. The chapter names were more specific like the animal's past, how it is in the present, bones, shapes and colours as well as where and how they live.
One way the authors made the topic interesting was by adding colourful pictures and little paragraphs on the side. I thought this was a very clever way to give more information on the animal. The paragraphs had interesting information on the topic the chapter was about. The colourful pictures made it easy to know what they were talking about. It was great for visual learners.
This book makes me more curious about the extraordinary world of animals and I want to learn more about animals. There were many animals that were interesting such as Elephant bird which is now extinct. The Elephant bird's egg is more than 7 times bigger than an Ostrich egg, which weighs about 1.5kg.
On the left is the Elephant bird's egg and beside that is the Ostrich egg, beside that is a Chicken egg and to the very right is a Humming bird egg.
The illustrations were very helpful understanding the topic. They also had labels, especially when they were explaining the bones and the muscles of the animal. There were some maps as well showing where all the animals lived.
Overall I really liked this book and would recommend this to anyone who wants to be a vet or even if they like animal and want to read about them. It was a really nice book, but it was very time consuming. It was very informative, which I like.
