Gorgeous illustrations. Wish they had incorporated language into this one

I fell in love with the illustrations in this book when I was out visiting Fort Langley Historic Park this weekend. I didn't have time to read the whole thing at the gift shop, so I had to purchase it.
Each animals is accompanied by a sentence about them. "Beavers love to chew on bark. Frogs can hop far and wide." The name of the animal is in a different coloured font. I read this with my four month old grandbaby. She scanned her head to look at the different images on each page. I call this successful reading at this age.

Checked out from Baraboo Public Library (I wish the info on the back of the book had its own designated page in bigger font)

I was surprised that the Ojibway names of the animals were not given. The art does reflect a unique style, and there is a small piece of information about each animal, but the title made me think that there would be more language.

I suppose it is because this is a board book, so maybe just getting the child familiar with different animals that are important culturally.
