Once again, Henrik Drescher introduces the animal world to us as we now explore the various animals from Australia! “Whose Furry Nose?” like its predecessor “Whose Scaly Tail?” features the same young boy and his fascination with the animals in Australia which is brought to you by Henrik Drescher! “Whose Furry Nose?” also has cute illustrations like its predecessor “Whose Scaly Tail?” but the story is a bit too simplistic for many children to handle.

This book is once again about a young boy meeting various animals, except this time, the animals he encounters are in Australia!

I really did enjoy Henrik Drescher’s illustrations in this book as they are extremely cute and detailed just like in “Whose Scaly Tail?” and I was relieved in seeing the appearance of the young boy from “Whose Scaly Tail?” since I enjoyed his enthusiasm in exploring different animals in Australia or everywhere he goes and it was nice seeing his father in this book since it made the illustrations even more cute to look at. My favorite images in this book were of the numbats and the yellow belly gliders as they look extremely cute. Also, I loved the information key about each animal introduced in this book that Henrik Drescher provided at the end of the book since I wanted to learn more about each animal in this book and I am sure that children will enjoy reading about what these animals eat.

Like its predecessor, the only problem I had with this book was that it was not informative enough in describing about what part of Australia the animals live in and how they protect themselves from enemies, since I was always intrigued in seeing how animals protect themselves in the wilderness. I also thought that there should have been more creativity to this book, even though this is strictly an informational book.

Overall, “Whose Furry Nose?” may have cute illustrations and three years old might enjoy this book because of its simple content, but for older children and adults like myself, this book might be a bit too boring to sit through.
