Read this book when I was an impressionable little kid, I used to stare at the illustrations for hours!

I'm shocked this book hasn't been reviewed yet. I totally LOVE this book! I learned so many things.. *I'm a genius now* .. and I read it to two boys (ages 6 & 7) and they both enjoyed it.

It covers 7 different animals. Lots of info.. nothing long winded though.

The illustrations are awesome! - just take my word for it.

They are so many 'interesting animal' books out there.. but this one is different... and one I think most ages will like.
