The topic of Animals or Zoology is vast and this guide is just a starting point for your own research. Whether you’re looking for vertebrates or invertebrates, you want to learn about animal classification (taxonomy), you’re thinking about why animals are herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores, or you’re just trying to figure out how to explain platypuses, we’ve got you covered.

We recommend that you consider the date of publication and the source of the media when deciding whether it is a good resource for your child, and review everything first for age-appropriateness.
