TARGET: Primary ANIMAL books comparison -nonfiction

["Joanne E. Ladewig" <shatz@LIGHTSIDE.COM>]

Netters:
Last year many of you responded with good suggestions for primary animal
nonfiction books. Publishers and/or series named were:

True Books, Checkerboard, Rourke, Child's World, Crabtree, Early Bird
(Lerner), and Heinneman.

If you have Heinneman and/or Child's World sets, could you please tell me
whether you prefer them to the other series listed, and why? (binding,
photos/artwork, quality of information, etc.) I am planning a big order and
the sales rep who dropped off catalogs didn't bring samples. I did notice
that Child's World and Heinneman seemed to have more pages per book than
some of the others.

A recent post discussed new primary encyclopedias, specifically,
Heinneman's. I contacted Lois (who did the post) but she no longer had the
email address of the respondent who had them. I would appreciate s/he
contacting me and letting me know how the Heinneman ency. set is.
Thanks!!!
