Animals, grouped by more than taxonomy

Organized as a visual compendium, the book connects animal classification with the features and behaviors that make different creatures distinctive. Alongside mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates, it sorts animals by habitats, body parts, and behavior. Topics range from beak shapes, tails, and eyes to tool use and relationships in nature, giving the subject several points of entry. More than 3,000 images accompany the text, making visual comparison a central part of the book’s approach to the animal kingdom.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 curious about animals and how scientists classify them
