MY REVIEW:
Eric Carle is known for his unique illustrations and this book continues on with the bright colors and sometimes silly pictures. Animals Animals is full of just what you would expect - animals! Ocean-living animals, dessert-living animals, jungle-living animals, zoo-living animals, barn-living animals and more are all found in the 88 pages of this book. However, rather than have a traditional storyline to it, each page holds one more poems.

My mom purchased this for my children and we just finished it. It's not Carle's typical picturebook - it's instead a longer book of poems. As a librarian, I am generally against harming a book in any way, but, man, I want to cut out some of these layouts and frame them! Both artwork adn poetry are beautiful! These are collected poems by varied authors and the only reason I docked a star is because I felt some of them might have been over the heads of the intended audience. Wonderful, wonderful g...more
The sixty-plus selections contained within this volume cover a huge range of animal topics from whales to bumble bees, camels to ants and includes the works of notable poets from Carl Sandburg to Emily Dickinson, William Shakespeare to Ogden Nash - with a hearty helping of Japanese haiku and regional proverbs and sayings thrown in for good measure. Even without Eric Carle's distinctive and appealing art this is one neat collection!

Animals Animals by Eric Carle is an awesome book for so many reasons. First, it collaborates many small poems and quotes into one book. These words are accompanied by amazingly animated illustration that that brings the words to life. It is interesting and clever and it makes helps children be exposed to a new format of reading and analyzing literature.
This book is filled with animal pictures created with Eric Carle's inimitable style. Accompanying the pictures are myriad poems that range from Japanese Haiku to Native American poems to the funny wit of Jack Prelutsky and Ogden Nash. We read this book in one sitting, but it's a bit long for younger children and probably best read in small bits.
I was introduced to this book during a methods course. A great teacher used this book to open her habitat unit. Each animal and their habitat was discussed. Eric Carle once again creates amazing illustrations and engages readers with an easy read.
Typical Eric Carle book when it comes to illustrations. This large book would be great to teach poetry with, or to teach about different kinds of animals. It would be great to link into science, as well.
Now, this book. I have to say is my least favorite of Eric Carle. It was lengthy and the kids didnt enjoy it at all. The only thing they liked about the book and I quote, "ooooo pretty colors." lol.
Love this book! I have a daughter who loves animals and poetry - found this at a zoo gift shop. Has had much more use and value in our home than any toy bought at a gift shop ever has.
This book is not nearly as good as other Eric Carle books. The poems contained in this book are by other authors and is illustrated by Eric Carle.
i am hooked on the sliding panels - this is the coolest thing ever. except sometimes i have to grunt to make mommy slide the panel back.
An assortment of poems written by Eric Carle himself. If the children love to read his books, this is another to add to the collection.
I love this and Dragons, Dragons and use them often for children's programming.
Collection of animal poems illustrated by Carle is unique and enjoyable.
Mother doesn't want a dog and behold the duck, loved the poems!
Enjoyed how it incorporated poetry from many great authors.
This hard book is easily manipulated by small hands, it is a great, fun introduction to vocabulary in English/Spanish. The book offers a sliding panel on every page that displays the names of the animal in both languages next to a picture of the animal.
Eric Carle’s vibrant colors and unique illustrations make classic poetry about animals leap off the page. The selection includes poems from Lewis Carroll, Emily Dickinson, Benjamin Franklin, Rudyard Kipling and H. D. Lawrence, as well as from Japanese, American Indian and Anonymous sources.
I love this book. I love Erice Carle's illustrations. They are so creative! I also like how there is a variety of readings or poems about all the different animals. A great resource to use for poetry and animals.
The kids liked this. Had lots of different animals with bits of information.
I'll read it to the 2 little ones when they're a bit older. It's definitely worth a read or two.

This is a great child's introduction to poetry--Jude loves this book. One of his favorite poems is The Flying Squirrel by John Gardner, "Toot-toot! I'm a parachute!"
I appreciate his collages. Since I cannot draw if I ever write a children's book it will be filled with Eric Carle-like illustrations. No offense Mr. Carle.
Collection of poetry with Eric Carle illustrations.
Absolutely love the illustrations. This one's a keeper.
