Although I am not the biggest fan of the Little Golden books, I have to love them because of how classic they are. This particular book relates how crazy it would be if elephants and tigers and monkeys came to gym class with us! It might be harder for younger kids to relate to this because they won't have any concept of what gym class is, but they might be familiar with the activities the animals do. The text is short and the illustrations are more realistic than what kids might be familiar with More...

My 2-year old son doesn't really like this book. He does not recognize the exotic animals or have any concept of a gym class. The good points of the book are its pictures and brief text, which seems like it should appeal to his age group. But unfortunately it is too far outside his experience to be understood.
