An elephant's trunk is so nimble, it can pick up a single blade of grass, and yet so strong, it can knock over a tree. Giraffes have eyelashes. Sloths hang from trees for days at a time without going to the bathroom. These are just some of the insights featured in Life-Size Zoo. Acclaimed wildlife photographer Toyofumi Fukuda visited Japan's premier zoos to capture remarkably vivid and detailed close-up photographs of 21 animals, from pandas and meerkats to giraffes, rhinos, and elephants (adult and baby). Each photograph is accompanied by a profile including body length, weight, and natural habitat, as well as fun facts about the animal.

From Booklist
A zoo tour between covers, this oversize volume brings viewers face to face with a menagerie of creatures, from anteaters to zebras. Each spread features a laser-sharp, actual-size photograph of an animal’s body, usually its face, as well as a sidebar that lists a few basic facts in a whimsical, comic-panel format. Throughout, prompts encourage viewers to notice additional details: a camel’s luxuriously long eyelashes; a tiger’s roughly textured tongue; the white tips on a tapir’s ears. Several spreads fold out to accommodate larger animals; a four-panel image of an Asian elephant, who seems to eye the viewer warily, is unforgettable. The photographs give a visceral sense of what it might feel like to touch the animals, and the words bring in more sensory detail: a rhino’s skin, for example, “looks tough . . . but it feels nice and warm.” The playful table of contents, designed as a cartoon aerial map of a zoo, and endpapers filled with full-body snapshots of the animals complete this innovative introduction to global creatures that’s perfect for group sharing.

We took our daughter to the zoo, and she was completely fascinated. Because of this interest, I was looking for some sort of book about zoos and animals, and this came up in my search. It's a great educational book (although I have noticed a few typos) and my daughter loves the fold outs of the larger animals (they are life-sized). She points to the animals, and attempts to imitate their sounds.

A good variety of animals is included: panda, zebra, red panda, tiger, capybara, giraffe, gorilla, koala, sloth, meerkat, prarie dog, aardvark, hedgehog, armadillo, elephant (& calf),tapir, anteater, sea lion, camel, and rhinoceros.

I enjoy the interesting facts that are listed. Most are probably unfamiliar, but educational (like identifying the different types of zebra by their patterns). But others are just strange (some are about pooping -- pandas poop 100 small poops a day; capybaras poop in the water). I don't read the facts to my daughter yet, but I will when she's old enough. There is a section titled "Time for a Close Up" in which questions are asked to get the reader to notice details about the animals' features (ex. the shape of the animal's head, the number of toes, the sandpaper-like tongue). The page also lists the given name of animal pictured (ex. Kou Kou the giant panda), the approximate age, & scientific name.

This is a fantastic book for a young child interested in wild animals!

my daughter loves loves this book and was borrowing it from the school library every chance she got. So I finally bought a used copy. The book has some wear, but no markings, and one of the pages had a big tear in it (I just taped it up and it's fine). Great price for the book though.

After reading the rave reviews by other users on the life-size zoo series, I decided to buy two books for my 2 kids (aged 4.5 and 1.5). They absolutely love the books! My younger girl just couldn't resist kissing some of the cuddly animals on the book, and was a little afraid of the scarier ones.

It would have been better if the centre binder of the book was done in such a way that the book could open 180 degrees without distorting the image (centre portion of the image that spreads across two pages are distorted by the binder).

Nonetheless still a great buy. Really high quality pictures and fine detail. Makes great presents for young kids.
Thank you!

This book is an absolute must have for children. The illustrations to compare each animal to life-size are amazing. I teach preschool and the children were truly enthralled with this book. My story time went from 20 minutes to 45. They would let me read this book to them all day. They love it! The book also has great information to share with the children that they can understand about each animal.
