Customer Rating:
Summary: Stunning photos!
Comment: The Eyewitness books are made for kids, but I would say this book is a must-have for all amphibian fans, including adults. The photos are absolutely stunning, and the text is very good, even for adults. I love this book!
Customer Rating:
Summary: One of the stronger Eyewitness books
Comment: For those who are new to the Eyewitness format, it consists of thematically arranged two-page spreads of brilliant photographs on a white background. There is an intro paragraph in the upper left-hand corner, but most of the text is in the captions that go with the photographs. Generally, the biological sciences titles are the strongest in this series, since other topics often need a more organized progression of topics. You'll get a lot of information out of these books, but you won't get a systematic anaylsis.
This is an especially good book. The organization works well for the topic, and there is a great deal of in-depth information not normally covered even in high school-level biology books. Great for any child interested in amphibians!
Customer Rating: 
Summary: fun book
Comment: My son and I greatly enjoyed this book. It is presented in the typical, and attractive, Eyewitness style, and is packed with information and pictures. I especially enjoyed reading about ancient amphibians. I had no idea that they grew so large in ancient times!

Editorial Reviews:
|
Each of the well-done Eyewitness Videos uses excellent graphics and documentary footage to give a crystal-clear picture of the natural world. Ape certainly has all that, but it is also a showcase for some of the cutest monkeys that you will ever see in your whole life. From the tool-using chimpanzee to the solitary orangutan to the bizarre lemur, this video is a slice of life of our closest cousins in the animal kingdom. A sample fact: man and ape share 98.4 percent identical genetic material. Yes, it's scientific and informative and narrated by Martin Sheen, but it's also gosh darn adorable. Ape also includes a special bonus behind-the-scenes video. --Brendan J. LaSalle
