Beasts are described as wild animals and are divided into chapters depending on features.  Aimed toward reluctant readers, the photographs are large and the text minimal.  Most photos show only the head so all animals appear to be the same size.  The page layout and muted background color choices are pleasing.  Basic information may lead to further investigations.  Some words are in bold font but not all are found in the glossary.  The word “bounce” is defined but “crustacean” is not.  There is a short true/false quiz at the back.  No index or recommended books or websites for further information are included.
