I’ve had a few books giving me the eyeball… I’m a little behind on reviews!

My kids have had a fabulous time with Jungle Jack Hanna’s The Wackiest, Wildest, Weirdest Animals in the World!

First off, Jack Hanna writing a Christian book? Who knew? Now, I will say that this Thomas Nelson book doesn’t scream “Christian book,” but there are a few mentions here and there about God’s creation, and finding a book about animals that isn’t evolutionary is pretty amazing.

This book is a large, colorful, hardcover book featuring 30 different bizarre animals! Each page has fabulous, big photographs with sidebars of information about what makes that particular animal “Wacky,” “wild,” or “weird.” Each animal also has an information box containing what the animal eats, where they live, and how big they get. Every few pages Jack Hanna also includes anecdotes about his adventures.

This book also comes with a dvd with bloopers from Jack Hanna’s show – I really enjoyed watching it, even though AG was a little confused why certain things were funny! :)

My kids have loved sitting and looking at these pictures! The text is still mostly above 3 year old AG, but I summarize it for her… and even 1 year old LB has sat for long periods of time just looking at the amazing pictures with us! We’ve been introduced to a blue-footed booby (my personal favorite), platypus (did you know they lay EGGS?), Tasmanian devil, naked mole rats, and tons of other interesting creatures!

I would have loved this book as a kid, being the aspiring vet/zoo keeper that I was. I gave up those dreams when I learned that animals, too, have blood. Yuck. :)
