"Illumpedia" is a unique approach to the animal kingdom through interesting visuals and bright colors. Carnovsky uses colorful patterns and drawings of animals overlapped with different colors to show the animals' different environments and features on a close scale. Carnovsky includes a small device on the inside, allowing kids to interact with the pictures by studying the difference between colors in the images. Along with the imagery, "Illumipedia" also teaches about general life in the animal kingdom, introducing geography and climate as well as extinct species. Packed with different species, fun facts, and the history of animals, "illumipedia" is a great way for kids to study animals on a different level.
"'Illumipedia" is a great choice for kids who are discovering their interest in animals as well as kids who are interested in different facets of the animal kingdom. The illustrations and designs are a great hook and pull readers in. The interactive element keeps it interesting, and because readers study the book on a close scale, they pull even more information from it. This is a great choice.
