Animalia is an exceptionally useful teaching tool and a truly delightful read, due in no small part to its variety … Learners will experience an expanded Latin universe of charming fables, weighty myths, scientific treatises, and earnest prayers … Animalia offers a very well-curated set of passages … which invite readers to contemplate the human condition while reinforcing Latin vocabulary, grammar, and comprehension skills.
