This books is wonderfully bright, and is about 85% animals (every kid's favorite); the rest is composed of nature or human-made elements. In truth, I wasn't expecting so many animal photos in this book, assuming it would be 50% other things. My son has several animal photo books and didn't really need any more. Despite that, the book is very good sized, which makes the photos good-sized and easier for young children (with their lesser vision and motor control) to be able to view and point at different photos. My Big World and Animal Book is a delightful addition to our library and is in heavy rotation. Definitely recommend.
Excellent Picture Book

I bought this for my son when he was about one year old. He loves this book. He picks this among other books because it is big. Loves the pictures (very bright and clear pictures. The right number of pictures on each page) He points to each picture and asks us to name it. Or we play the "Where is..." game. He wants to read this everyday. A great way to increase his vocabulary. He can correctly point at a lot of animals now. There are not many BIG board books with real pictures out there. Atleast I havent found many.

My son's pediatrian has this book in her office and every time we go for a checkup he can not stop looking at it. All the other books in the office are nice but for some reason he seems to love this one. It might be its big size and/or all the bright colours but it works. I bought a copy few days after our last visit and since the book arrived he's been 'reading' it all the time. The itself has a lots of animals, plants, trains, cars, buses, etc. BTW, my son is 19 months right now. Great book for a toddler.
