 This is an excellent book. It includes unique animals from all the continents. It would be great to use in an English class to teach poetry and all the related literary terms. It would also be great in a Science classroom for an animal/biomes unit. The book begins with a world map and ends with specific facts about animals. The illustrations show the animals in cartoonish but realistic depictions. Unfortunately, there is no AR test for this book.
