This was a very cool book. It talked about a bunch of different animals and their talents. It highlights each of their lives and then goes into extensive detail about what they can do. Most readers would wonder how this is even possible and wonder how these animals are doing things humans can do. I think this book would be cool for students who are interested in working with animals. This could also be a reference book for students to look through when learning about different animals.

I like the idea of this book. I was interested in the gorilla's paintings and the elephant musicians. I cannot believe someone had the idea to create large and sturdy enough percussion instruments to have a gigantic animal play! I wonder if the animals enjoy it or if it is cruel.
