Take my money!
Wonderfully illustrated history and physical of the earth's oceans and inhabitants. The author is also a fantastic illustrator who makes it more real and for us to have more appreciation of all of the wildlife that many of us will never be able to visit. It's zoology for the rest of us! While it seems to be viewed as a book for children, the information and technical verbiage kind of belies that narrow definition. I promote it as for ages 3 to 103! Can't wait to go out and buy several print copies for others! I loved it and so will my family.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to any school or your public library!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from Storey Publishing, LLC via NetGalley. Thank you!
By purchasing this book, the author will be using all of her advance royalty payment to help two promising students that need funding to get their master’s degrees to further help in protecting wildlife animals.

This is the book review for Wildlife Anatomy by Julia Rothman. This is a NEW addition to the Anatomy series that is loved by children and adults alike.
At Curating Edits, we personally own the collection, which includes Nature Anatomy, Farm Anatomy, and Food Anatomy out of the 8 already published. When I saw that Wildlife Anatomy was available to review, I jumped on it. These books are perfect educational reference books. That being said, they are just a fun, interesting read. We love a book that can work both ways. Each section can be turned into an entire Science lesson, that’s how detailed these books are.

Wildlife Anatomy is packed with so many wildlife animals and their unique features and attributes. Animals you might have never heard of, it’s such a fascinating learning experience. The illustrations are phenomenal and the research is exciting and educational.
Julia Rothman created the text and illustrations for this wonderful book. Alongside the help from Lisa Hiley. With six chapters and a resource area that offers information on organizations working hard to protect our wildlife.

How honorable of the author to do such an inspiring act to help the future by helping these two students. Which you can read about in the introduction of the book. By purchasing this book, you too are doing something towards helping the future of wildlife animals and two special students.

You will have many favorite chapters in this book. From learning about an Ecosystem to more specific animal characteristics like in chapter 6, “Weird and Wonderful”. Wildlife Anatomy covers so much in easy-to-comprehend ways that will benefit the learning children and the adults reading it.
I have finally learned the difference between an Alligator and a Crocodile, because of this book! I love it, I already know I am going to be purchasing this book as a gift to a few animal lovers in my life.

I've seen this series of books recommended in many homeschool circles, so was excited to read this new addition on wildlife.

As expected, the illustrations were beautiful. The depth of information was perfect for my 9 year old..

It's a great resource for learning more about the anatomy, habitat etc of these animals.

My children loved it.

Highly recommend.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Colorful and eye-catching cover on this book.

This was a fun book to read. To start eye-catching and colorful graphics make this a visually pleasing book to go through. On top of that, it is packed full of all kinds of information ranging from ecosystems, animals, social networks, and even the "weird and wonderful". There is plenty here to keep readers of all ages engaged and learning. 👍🏻👍🏻

Julia Rothman is costing me a fortune !
The children read this book for hours and then decided to look on Amazon to see what other books were in the series, now I am getting constant requests for these books to appear on their bookshelves. The youngest wants the sticker books. The problem being that I have to agree that this book and the others in the series are FABULOUS. And educational but please don't mention that to the grandchildren.

Thanks to Netgalley for access to this advance copy for my honest review. I will definitely be purchasing the hard copy version as soon as it is released. Wildlife Anatomy is yet another beautiful book from Julia Rothman. Our family currently owns all of the other books in her Anatomy collection. This collection is used heavily in our homeschooling, but my children can often be found reading them even when we are not doing lessons.. The wonderfully illustrated pictures and thoughtful text cover a wide range of “wild” topics. The six chapters are: The World Over, Tooth and Claw, Have you Herd, Social Networks, Built from the Ground Up, and Weird and Wonderful.

Our favorite parts of the newest book include the final chapter titled Weird and Wonderful. This chapter covers animals that have extraordinary characteristics. We loved learning about various snakes and frogs. My son, who loves insects and other small animals, really enjoyed the chapter Built from the Ground Up. This chapter includes not only insects and arachnids but also birds and some small mammals. It teaches about the various homes that these creatures build in or low to the ground.

This book does not go in depth on any one topic but is a great reference that allows children to gain interest in a particular topic before deep diving using various other references. This book is also good at showing relationships between various animals and ecosystems.

Wildlife Anatomy is a cute book with lots of interesting facts. I only wish the kindle version was put together better so that the pages could be viewed easier. The way it is right now, the pages are sliced in two parts and the pages are backwards. So, when you look at one page, you see two pages of the book at the same time and the pages are organized as page 2 on the left and page 1 on the right. And the entire page is not visible. Finding the rest of page is very hard. This issue needs lots of work.

The book is illustrated well and in color. Facts are interesting and I feel this book could be for an adult or a child that is very interested in animals. The diagrams are labeled well and easy to follow. And there is information about all different kinds of animals from spiders to elephants, to fish.

I am rating this book lower than I probably would if the book was not hard to follow in the kindle version. I would recommend getting this book as a physical copy.

Wildly Fun! Did you see what I did there? This series of books is an absolute riot. My boys LOVE these books, and this one just makes the collection so much better. It covers basically any wild animal you can think of. It has amazing facts about them. And not just about the animal itself. About the environment it lives in, the eco system it thrives in, what it eats, etc. Seriously, so good!

I have many Julia Rothman books and they make me so happy to look at and for the information she shares! This latest one is even more charming and fun to read. My kids and I could spend hours going through her books. I definitely recommend to anyone interested in wildlife and nature, art, and illustration. It is a fun, smart reference book.

I really liked this - it feels different than other wildlife books for kids that I've read before, and I think it's that it almost feels more like a journal than a general information book. Lovely illustrations and a load of information to go along with them.

Wildlife Anatomy is such a wonderful book. Julia's illustrations are amazing and I loved the short descriptions. It was very informative and straight to the point, but it was done in a way that it made reading the book fun. This is a perfect book for children and adults.

The perfect book for nature loving kids!

A collection of incredible facts, educating children on all aspects of ecology.

From biomes and climates, to apex predators and their different hunting techniques.

Covers a wide range of species and habitats.

This is a wonderful addition to any nature nerds bookshelves!

Not sure about what I was expecting from the title, but the book certainly surpassed it all. Since I was not familiar with Julia's series, it was only after seeing the cover and reading the description that I requested a copy. The title hints at something not just serious, but a bit boring. But boy, it couldn't be soooo different Thank God for the subtitle and description.

Wonderfully illustrated book full of facts that any children with an interest in animals will enjoy. It covers miriads of animals from different continents, from spiders to eagles, from the most famous and glamorous to some less known animals.

Best of all is the science behind the bits of information and the illustrations. I have done some biology courses for my uni degree, and I doubt there is anything that hasn't been carefully researched. And the way of grouping the information is also fantastic.

I will highly recommend this book.

Wildlife Anatomy
5 Stars

Wildlife Anatomy is another great addition to the Anatomy series by Julia Rothman. This book begins by touching on research, then moves into straightforward learning about ecosystems, and animals living in them. There are interesting animal facts and illustrations to better understand more about animals, and the world that they live in.

I love the charming illustrations; it's so impressive she wrote and illustrated this lovely book. I'm surprised by the sheer amount of content covered. This book makes my heart happy! Looking forward to getting a physical copy for myself.

Overall, Wildlife Anatomy is phenomenal! It's definitely a good choice for any animal lover, young or old. I love the interesting facts, adorable illustrations and loads of educational gems.

*Note- This book covers evolution. So, for parents who don’t believe in evolution, I wouldn't recommend it.

Thank you, NetGalley and Storey Publishing, for an advance review copy for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Overall informative but editing/digital edition floored.
Was unable to enlarge writing and most pages were cut in half or were partly shown again making it difficult to read. Making me on occasion miss bits or have to reread sentences to find out where I was in the paragraph. Gave me ahead ache.

I'm not sure how to explain it so I hope you ender stand what I mean.
Had it been on paper in front of me I would class it as a bad print job.

Lots and lots of cute illustrations in color, very readable and short descriptions. Really fun way to learn about wildlife from around the world. Great for kids as well as adults, including me!

Only issue for parents who don’t believe in evolution is that there is some mention there.

Other than that, a really well done book. A concept that can be used for a lot of other subjects.

5 stars from me, with the above caveat.

I really enjoy Julia Rothman's anatomy books. The drawings help to describe some complex things and are often adorable (would make great stickers). I also enjoyed that pizza rat made an appearance. This book is a nice, straightforward and interesting way to find out more about animals and the world that they live in.
