A celebration of wildlife

Caroline Arnold's "South American Animals" is a great way to introduce children to the amazing wildlife of this vast continent. Although the book's length of 48 pages limits the amount of information that the author can share, the straightforward text and beautiful full-color photographs make this book a good addition to the family library.The animals discussed in the book are grouped according to four geographic regions: forests, mountains, grasslands, and the water's edge. The species pictured include the toucan, the spider monkey, the guanaco, and many more. The book is full of stunning images: the colorful coils of the emerald tree boa, the predatory beauty of the jaguar, the majesty of the Andean condor in flight. Read the book and marvel at the wonders of nature.
