This book was a great example of nonfiction. The information was accurate and up to date, the images were spectacular and really helped the text, and the text was so easy to follow and read.

I would use this in my classroom because children love learning about new animals and the images in this book were great.

This book was non-fiction. It was very informing and had the facts stated clearly throughout the text. The imagery was good and helped to extend the text.

“French Guiana is about the size of India. But for its size, this is probably the tarantula capital of the world.”
