THE ANIMAL REVIEW

Ever since our ancestors first set eyes on a woolly mammoth and agreed that it needed hunting, human beings have been making judgements about animals. The king cobra: That's an A-plus animal. The garden snail? It gets a D-minus. On a good day. In Animal Review, Jacob Lentz and Steve Nash give authoritative listings and ratings of dozens of your favourite (and least-favourite) animals. Expanded from their popular blog, the entries mix fascinating animal facts with hilarious assessments, set off with brilliantly captioned photos and enlightening charts and graphs. It's a perfect gift for animal lovers of any age, with sophisticated but child-friendly humour and tons of interesting information.
