World Book's Latest Animals of the World Set Appeals to Children's Curiosity While Teaching Them About the Animal Kingdom
Chicago, IL (PRWeb) March 15 2007 -- For the millions of children that have wondered how horses greet each other, how to tell if a dog is not feeling well, or why bunnies have long ears, World Book, Inc. provides answers to these questions and more in the latest set in its award-winning Animals of the World series. Animals of the World set 5 includes 10 volumes, with each title providing easy-to-comprehend, visually appealing information about a different animal species:
• Arabians and Other Horses
• Box Turtles and Other Pond and Marsh Turtles
• Cockatiels and Other Parrots
• Golden Retrievers and Other Sporting Dogs
• Goldfish and Other Carp
• Holland Lops and Other Rabbits
• Pinktoes and Other Tarantulas
• Purple Pinchers and Other Hermit Crabs
• Siamese and Other Short-haired Cats
• Silkies and Other Guinea Pigs
Ideal for future zoologists, biologists, veterinarians, or just inquisitive children in the primary through middle grades, each book in the Animals of the World series includes instructive animal classification charts to show students where the featured animal fits into the Animal Kingdom as well as detailed information about each animal's appearance, habitat, and behavior, reinforced with full-color pictures, maps, and illustrations. A detailed table of contents, glossary, and index help to ensure that readers get the most out of each book, and a list of additional print and Web site resources encourages students to explore further.
"As every educator and parent knows, children have a natural curiosity about animals. Animals of the World provides a quick source for answers to commonly asked questions, rewarding children's interest with information that fosters their understanding and appreciation of the Animal Kingdom," said Paul Gazzolo, president of World Book.
