From School Library Journal
Grade 5-9–Three major sections discuss the formation of the Earth, the biosphere, and climate change; focus on life from microscopic plants through the shapes, senses, and categories of animals, including habitats; and consider biomes. Highly detailed color photography, including many full-page, spectacular spreads, illuminates the concepts and discussions. Clear, colorful diagrams explain the unseen processes of nature, as reflected in the digestive system of the carnivorous climbing pitcher plant or the communication of fireflies. Most noticeably different from Burnie's The Kingfisher IllustratedAnimal Encyclopedia (2000) is the way in which information is presented; in Nature the treatment is more encyclopedic; in Animal, concise summaries are more typical. The volume concludes with an extensive index, a limited glossary of approximately 120 words, and a reference to 10 authoritative Web sites. Navigation of these sites will be easiest for students who have had solid instruction in search methods. The DK Nature Encyclopedia (1998) covers the same material, but for a slightly younger audience.–Tina Hudak, St. Bernard of Clairvaux, Riverdale Park, MD

Children's Literature
A good source of information for reports and projects, although students may get caught up in reading this attractive book whether or not they are working on a school assignment.
