Description "Did you know animals like this really exist?" Our world is full of amazing, surprising animals that most children never get the chance to meet in person. As kids grow past their toddler years, their curiosity naturally expands from the familiar animals nearby to the incredible variety of creatures living all across the globe. "Where do lions live?" "How does a giraffe sleep?" "What's the difference between a chimpanzee and an orangutan?" Children are full of endless questions, and they love searching for books that can answer them. "The Animal Encyclopedia You'll Love Again and Again" is designed to satisfy that boundless curiosity while also building observation skills and critical thinking — and, most importantly, nurturing a warm, caring heart toward animals. Through this book, children can meet animal friends living in all kinds of environments, come to understand the diversity of life, and learn the wisdom of animals that live in harmony with nature. Just as people are born, grow up, and become adults, animals go through the same journey — and just like us, they can feel joy, sadness, and hardship. Understanding this helps children develop a deep respect for all living things. For kids who are endlessly curious and eager to learn, discovering a favorite animal can bring a little more happiness into their lives. We hope this book brings the joy of knowing that we don't live alone — we share this world with other people, and with countless wonderful animals.
