I did not find this book to be particularly spectacular or to stand out. However, I do believe this would be a good book for children who are particularly into animals and wildlife. Each page has a great picture of a specific animal in its natural habitat and an interesting fact about that animal. This book is very simplistic but children will learn a lot about a number of animals none the less. Due to its simplistic nature I would suggest this book to younger elementary students.

This is a wonderful concept book for children! Really fun illustrations, and lots of fun facts! I even learned a few things (like that crickets have their ears on their knees!) The book goes through different animals and different things they can do with their tails, ears, noses, etc. Very simplistic and fun. At the end, there's a small glossary that gives more details on each animal. I will definitely read this to my future-kids.
This is a cute story to introduce different animals to young children. Children can read about different noses, tails, mouths, etc. and how they are special to each animals. Great pictures and a great non-fiction beginner book.
Fun. Great for really young ones.
Great informational and engaging book for young readers!
