Famous Animals

My review -
If
you have a young person with a sense of humour and a thirst for knowledge in
your life, you really need this book. I ordered two copies. My nearly -11
year-old grand-daughter will really appreciate it, but I wanted one for myself.
Why should the youngsters get all the fun? Each full page illustrations (for
example, Felix Mendelsswan – the cover character) faces a page with a little
information about the animal and a brief biography of the person. It’s beautifully
done, with delightful pictures and is both fun and factual. If you buy one to
give away you’ll want another to keep! For the number and quality of the
illustrations it’s an absolute bargain.
The
author writes for young people and doesn’t talk down to them. It’s all done with
wit and imagination. The best thing about it is discovering there’s a Volume II
in production. Wonderful!
