An Anthology of Intriguing Animals by DK steps away from the publisher’s usual format of a glossy cover and pages filled with photographs and spots of text in favor of a beautiful gold-embossed cover and gilded pages. Inside, over 100 animals are highlighted by a single striking photograph accompanied by a realistic drawing. The text is short, factual, and clear, imparting interesting tidbits about each animal. This is a beautiful, informative heirloom book that will provide many hours of entertainment and wonder for any child with an interest in wild animals of the land, sea, and air. Recommended By Steph C., Powells.com
