Elementary Zoology (Curriculum Pack)
Package Includes:
World of Animals - Fascinating facts about the world of animals published by Master Books, is a fully illustrated, exhaustive fact filled book of Animals for students. The quality presentation of this book rivals that of many popular science themed books for children. From the cover that features a holographic image of a tiger that changes when you reposition the angle of the book, to the graphics, photos and text- this book is sure to capture the attention of any young reader interested in science and animals.
The beginning of the book features an introduction about the oprigin of animals in general, based on the biblical creation account of genesis. The book is further divided by chapters based on the complexity of the organism and animal, starting with simple animals in chapter one which features a suprising and diverse array of both well known and lesser known unique creatures. Even though this book is intended for students and children in general, I found many chapters of this book very informative and thorough. The format and layout of the book presents the animal kingdom in such a way as to give the larger picture to the reader. Animals are not listed in a haphazard alphabetical format which makes no scientifc fact, but rather they are organised based on complexity, species and habitat. I don't think a better presentation or arrangement could be made.
The title in of itself is rather broad- including a variety of animals grouped by species. This book, although not a scholary text book, provides a well rounded background for Animals- superior to that of a text book. The superior organization and presentation of this book of animals rivals the quality of any animal encyclopedia. Basically no living creature is left out, from the floating portists, mosss and fungi to the comples antelope and elephant. Presenting science and the study of animal life in such an appealing format makes is more obtainable for students in general. The format and presentation of this book makes the study of animals comprehensive. As a blogger for New Leaf publishers I recieved this book, published by Master Books for the purpose of writing this review.

This book was an unexpected surprise as it not only is an educational resource on dinosaurs but an activity and coloring book as well. I believe any young fan of dinosaurs will enjoy reading about dinosaurs as well as coloring pictures. The art is detailed- and much more than simple cartoon art. The detailed images will hold the attention of older children who want an outlet for creativity as well as younger readers. In fact my teenager snatched this book up and wasted no time in finding some pages to color. Not only is this book a great resource about dinosaurs, it is consistent with biblical creation as well. What a wonderful outreach method of sharing the gospel message to younger readers in the context of an engaging activity book on dinosaurs. As a blogger for Moms of Master Books I recived a copy of this book for the purpose of writing this review.

The Complete Zoo Adventure by Mary & Gary Parker, is literally a "A field trip in a book" as marketed on the front cover. This spiral bound, interactive full color book has color coded tab divided chapters for each animal category as well as a hands on tool kit, containing field fact cards, biome cards, field journal cards and name badges for the readers/ participants. This book is educational as well as interactive. This book is the perfect guid to transform any zoo trip into an educational field trip. And for those readers who are not actually going to the real zoo, this book is the next best thing.
At first glance this might seem just like a very good resource in animals and the zoo. But when you actually read the text of the book and not just the full color photographs of animals, the reader will find it is actually an educational book on biblical creation. Sadly, so many readers- and parents who read this book, will probably will look at the photos and stop there. But the actual text of this book is even more impressive! In the section "Before the zoo", there are "devotional" pages which give the biblical background of creation starting from Genesis. This book provides a simple, yet very well written background on the theology of creation and sin, the garden of Eden, and the flood. Issues of creationism vs evolutionary theories are discussed. Furthermore, within the text of the animal sections themselves, the authors do not hesitate to include biblical based commentary. For example, when commenting on a monkey exhibit at a zoo, they critique the fact that a diagram was depicted which implied than men evolved from apes. This is a bold book, and the authors are not ashamed of the gosepl message and find effective ways to promote the gospel in of all places- a book about zoo animals!
