We purchased Creaturepedia in 2016 and have enjoyed it ever since. Our copy has 216 pages, I didn’t know there is an updated version that is about to hit the shelves (I am unable to find the new one.) We have numerous books about animals, and this one has made it through many a weeding-out. It is fun to sit and look through the different ways the author has categorized the creatures, and to spot animals we’ve never seen before. It gets pulled out with other more wordy books when we are looking up a critter we want to know more about. The illustrations are both spot-on and fun.

In reply to Terry. YES! I gave it to my daughter's 7th grade teacher and she was mad that I didn't warn her she would cry SO much when she got to the end. :) Sorry, not sorry.
