Ever so tiny..........
Its a very nice book, quality wise....except for the fact that it is tiny.I have only myself to blame for not checking the dimensions but i was in a rush and what not.However, please take to heart that this is not your 'traditional' coloring book.Im hitting up the bookstores for a replacement.....

A great coloring book for kids.
I bought this with a few others as a Christmas gift for a friend of mine's little girl (who is 3 at the time of this review). She absolutely loved her coloring books! The age suggested is 4-8 and I imagine that means "To use properly" (ie: staying in the lines). But if making a child happy is the goal, then you can go younger. This particular book is a totally geared for children and is great for the price. ... Read more

Light Shining Through the Mist
I think this book was pretty interesting on how she lived a lot of her life helping gorillas. She wrecked poachers traps and learned to live somewhat like a gorilla. I would be very interested to read about her murder and why it happpened. She was a very brave women and lived very simply, yet she loved it. I thought she did a great thing.

Scale Size
This 1996 book is a precursor to Jenkins' highly acclaimed "Actual Size" (2004).While the latter book fulfills the title's promise by showing animals and animal body parts in their actual size, this book shows them in 1:8 scale; that is, the animals are drawn accurately, but 1/8 smaller than actual size.Although many of the two books' animals are the same, and Jenkins again contrasts large and small animals for contrast and wonder, "Big and Little" is simply not as fascinating as "Actual Size."

Great science series....
This entire series of books on animals, their habitats, life cycles, etc. are wonderful! I own 13 of them now. I use these with my first graders during our animal unit. Each book has fantastic pictures and drawings. The information is presented very well but also simply enough that primary aged students can grasp the concepts and find it fascinating. The books also enable themselves to be read in pieces if you want to skip something or focus on a certain area. I highly recommend books by Bobbie Kalman! ... Read more

So much fun!
I remember reading this book in 2nd grade. It was so interesting to learn about these animals I'd never seen before. The pictures are wonderful, they don't show fossils and bones, they show what scientists believe the animals actually looked like. It's really fascinating, even as an adult to look at those pictures and wonder what it would be like to see those animals at the zoo or in my back yard. I highly recommend this book for any child or adult interested in animals!
