The Kingfisher Animal Encyclopedia

The Kingfisher Illustrated Animal Encyclopedia is a comprehensive guide to the wonders of the animal kingdom. Arranged in an easy-to-use format, the encyclopedia covers every animal group from the simplest to the most complex. Each entry describes the characteristics, behavior, and distribution of the creature and gives both its Latin and common names. Color-coded feature panels complement the individual entries by focusing on topies such as camouflage, hibernation, and metamorphosis. With a detailed glossary and an index listing both common and scientific names, The Kingfisher Illustrated Animal Encyclopedia is an attractive and accessible reference book.
