animals and their homes- exactly what it says on the box

Animal Homes, written by E. K. Davis, illustrated by Jane Goldsborough, Little Good Book, 1982. Toddler, Preschool, Early Elementary.

This is not much to say about the text of this book, because there is not much text in the book. That's fine, though, because what is there works quite well.

The illustrations, however, deserve paragraphs. I will settle for sentences. They are realistic, without being frightening. They are soft, without being cute. The animal faces are expressive -- especially the eyes -- without looking human. Although the style is different, the illustrations of the animals remind me of Nancy Tafuri's work, which is always perfect.

Yes I own two of these books, I read this one in October when it was unpacked with a bunch of others. The older one on September 16, this year. It was in a different box. It won't let me mark them both as read this year. We own this one and the older one with the blue sticker on the front of the photo. (If there is anyone who would like to have this newer one for there child or grandchild send me a note with address, I will mail it to you.)

1. Awards: None
2. Age Appropriateness: Toddlers and up
3. Summary: This book is about animals and their homes. There are not too many words in the book, but this allows for people's imagination to wonder.
4. Review: The illustrations in this book are absolutely wonderful! The animal faces are expressive without looking too human. The little amount of words allow for the mind to explore and allows enough space for the teacher to use it as they wish.
5. Uses in a classroom: This book can be used in a lesson on animals and their homes. It can be used in a lesson about "community" and it can also be used in a lesson about "family" or "roles".
