This is quite a good work on the different topics relevant to Zoology. I liked the way they explained in brief about different species of animals. There are mammals, birds, amphibians, etc.

There was so much about everything. Taxonomy was good to knew about in sections & conservation for museums. There was 'WHY' for most topics to know how anything could be done?, say 'Why do we sleep?"
Transforming technologies, Laboratory lessons, Discovories from the deep seas, etc.. How fossils generated from dead bodies, and many such under-earth and under-water mysteries were explained in this picture book.

Every available geographical topography was there in this book and induction to each given very well. I really liked a section on rainforests and one thing new to me was 'Butterfly Antennae'.

I say there is so much to learn for middlegraders from this book and so much to keep for their advanced studies.
This is such a nice book.

However, from the starting part of the book, I would like to say there was no such shake-up to Indians what was to Europeans basis on Darwin's 'origin of Species' as written in here. One must read Hinduism's literature and they will realise that Indians from very eras back knew the "Origin of Species", way back when we have been told from the same manuscripts of "PURANS" for how the incarnation of Lord Vishnu happened one after another.

1 Matsya (fish) in Satya Yuga {First Epoch}
2 Kurma (turtle, tortoise)
3 Varaha (boar)
4 Narasimha (man-lion)
5 Vamana (dwarf-god) in Treta Yuga {Second Epoch}
6 Parashurama (warrior man)
7 Rama (Most dignified man)
8 Krishna {Third Epoch}
9 Buddha {Forth Epoch}
10 Kalki {Final, in same Forth Epoch}; the one prophesied to finishes the Final epoch and restart the cycle of time in Hindu Cosmology. Eschatology can explain that better.

Purans were Epochs old but Charles Darwin from 19th Century only.
