A perfect field guide for Indian mammals, Handy and covers most important points about the species. This book is suggested by many organisations like WTI. Got this book after a forest ranger suggested me this book while we were in jungle.

My best buy so far for my 5 year and 7 year old kids
The look of it makes one feel like it’s meant for adult. It indeed is for the reading level but My kids love this book too. I read to them and they enjoy all the mammal varieties in India. My son wanted more than just “lion tiger deer” and specifically Indian animals. When I searched Indian mammal books for kids there was hardly any.I went through the sample and found it likeable even for a child because it came with pictures and believe me it’s a hit with my kids. They love it and more so because of the picture. I read out for them and they enjoy the content too. My favourite part is the local names for the species.Worth the price for the content and the photos!

but is a great guide. Almost a textbook with detailed information presented ...
Not what I was expecting, but is a great guide. Almost a textbook with detailed information presented in an easily understood format.Not for younger readers and I wish the photos were larger.
