This is the first kid's animal book in the “Guess and Learn” animal series and is the start of a wonderful collection that will help teach your child about numbers and animals.
This book is just a short teaser to introduce you to the series.
In this series I try to focus on younger readers who still need that visual content to help in understanding what they are reading.

As you can see, I have added as much learning information as possible without making the whole thing seem overwhelming.
As well as learning about animals there is number learning too. At the top of each page I have included the number of the page written in letters and as a number.

Once your child has chosen their answer you flick over to the next page to see if it is the correct answer.

Lots of info
There is a lot of information on each animal and actual photos, too. Not one for toddlers, but a little older.
Enjoy!

Animals: Guess the Animal Kids Book
My professional life has been spent as an early childhood educator with a strong background in preschool age children's pre-reading skills. Animals: Guess the Animal is a wonderful book to use to increase these skills. Associating page numbers with written words shows language relationship. The fun game of guessing animals from shapes makes the book interactive, which increases learning. The few facts are age appropriate. My only suggestion would be to have colored photos so the child can see and learn one more detail about each animal. This is an excellent pre-reading non-fiction book.

Perfect identification book!
Loved this book better than her other animal identification book. This book includes a picture, 4 choices of animal identities, then tells us what it is and facts about the animal. Recommended for all animal lovers.

Great book
Very informative. Cute concept. My 3 year old really enjoyed guessing the animal based on a silhouette. I learned things about the animals reading it to him.

Nothing much to offer
It could really be more informative! The pictures could be more realistic. There could be more details about these animals.

I am going to use the review from "What Animal Is This?" as basically these are about the same books. The only difference that I could note is this would be the one for slightly older readers since instead of having a cartoonish animal as a clue the animals are provided in silhouette.
Although still retaining some of the same editorial issues as a few other Selena Dale books, this one still has reached its goal in my opinion. Although I don't have a 3-year-old to test the book out on or know someone that does the formatting is simple while fun at the same time.
Even though it is interesting to see the number at the top of the page both as a numeral and as a word I don't think it will be too important to the youngest of audiences unless their parents are working on that learning. Instead children will be more attracted to the multiple choice option, the cartoonish hint of the animal and slowly learning how to pick each animal out from one another.
It doesn't hurt either for parents to read this book to their children for they are able to read about the animal habits relating to each "discovered" animal and have them study the photograph that has been included in the work.
My only true complaint with this book and it just may be with my computer program is that the Kindle app doesn't set all the answers or guesses on the opposite page so it was like: What animal am I? A Bear! without being given a chance to guess it.

Adult enjoyed
Checked this out in advance for sharing with future grandchild.
Thought the silhouette format, followed by a photo and about 3 quick facts was just about perfect for those with short interest spans.
Was surprised to learn a few facts I never knew such as goldfish having teeth and how long a rabbit lives. Sort of like a virtual behind the scenes tour at a zoo.
Nice to learn that the author has additional animal books focusing on a specific animal or characteristic (such as speed)once the interest in a specific type has been piqued.
Four vs 5star because of grammar issue - ie there should have been their. Might not bother a lot of people but really did for me, especially in a book a child might read. Easily fixable and preventable.

My 4 year old granddaughter loved this book. She knew every animal shape. She even told me some facts on the animals! This is definitely interactive and a bunch of fun for a knowledge thirsty young one.
Thank you Author Selena Dale. This is the first thing I have downloaded from you. You hit a home run and my granddaughter said to tell you, she really really liked it!
So, have some fun with your little one tonight. I guarantee they will have fun! Oh, also...we didn't use this but if your child gets stumbled, there are lists you can have fun with in getting them to pick the right animal! If you aren't good with animal sounds, get ready to practice!

Fun and interactive
This book is cute and educational. The kids loved guessing which animal the shape was. My son is almost three and he over telling me what he knew about reach animal. There are a lot of good facts about each animal. There are nice pictures of the animals as well. *I got this book for free in exchange for an honest unbiased review. This has not influenced my opinions on the book.

Audio not good
The audio should help kids learn to read but the audio actually says that "·" reads as the words little dot. Not helpful to a young child learning to read.
I found the info too much for a three year old...ditto on the silhouette shape.
