Review
Jenkins is known for his paper collage artwork and creating books with engaging animal facts. This book is composed of a series of infographics. Each spread spotlights a different topic, such as size, speed, tongue lengths, temperature and horn lengths (to name a few.) The graphics highlight the accompanying text that defines terms and topics and collage illustrations of some creatures. There's an abundance of information and readers can spend many hours looking over the graphics and absorbing many facts. Much of the information is presented through graphs and illustrations which makes this a good choice for those who learn visually.
Overall Book Score: very good
