About this ebook
An interactive introduction to working with animals
Zoology for Kids invites the next generation of zoologists to discover the animal kingdom through clear, entertaining information and anecdotes, lush color photos, hands-on activities, and peer-reviewed research. Young minds are introduced to zoology as a science by discussing animals’ forms, functions, and behaviors as well as the history behind zoos and aquariums. Related activities include baking edible animal cells, playing a dolphin-echolocation game, and practicing designing an exhibit. Young readers can peek into the world of zookeepers and aquarists, veterinarians, wildlife researchers, and conservationists as they “train” their friends, mold a tiger’s jawbone, and perform field research in their own backyard. This engaging resource provides readers with new knowledge, a healthy respect for the animal kingdom, and the idea that they can pursue animal-related careers and make a difference to preserve and protect the natural world.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Zoology for Kids is an engaging, beautiful book for children who are interested in learning about the study of animals. Parts of this book seemed pitched for older children but the pictures and activities seem perfect for anyone over 8 years old.I could see using this book in a classroom or at home. I like how it has a wide variety of topics including a focus on careers with animals and is passionate about the importance and beauty of all living things. I downloaded this to my Bluefire Reader and it was gorgeous.Thank you to Netgalley for giving me an opportunity to review this book for an honest review.
