From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Toddlers and their parents will enjoy sharing these photographs of more than 70 animals (baby and adult). A wide variety of species appears, both wild and domestic-pigs, dogs, kangaroos, crocodiles, birds, fish, insects, and even earthworms. Animals are grouped in nontraditional ways; sounds, different colors, spots, stripes, and unique features are included. Each page has from three to six clearly focused photographs arranged atop a grid of narrow, colored lines. These lines surround but do not contain the creatures. A tiger seems to walk right out of his square. In the most effective pictures, animals gaze into the camera as though they are looking into viewers' eyes. While not essential, this book would be an appropriate addition to collections for the very young.

Customer Reviews

My son is crazy about this book!
My ten month old son has a lot of books, but this one is his absolute favorite. A nice way to introduce animals to a little one. I like the way the author sectioned the book into what sounds the animal makes, animal colors, a 'find my animal baby' section, etc. My son loves the beautiful, colorful photos and responds enthusiastically to them. We have three cats at home, and he squeals when he sees the photos of the cats and kittens. He picks this book out of his pile of toys, sits and pages through it, laughing at his favorite animals - the big pages are easy to turn, even for a wee one, and the book lies flat, so he can study the page he wants. But - of course it's not as strong as a board book, and he has destroyed this one - we have to buy another copy because it has fallen apart, and the tape we used to put it back together doesn't let the pages lie flat. Well worth the money though, because he loves the book.

My kid's favorite baby book
Both of my boys have loved this book. I am buying my fourth book now. The animal pictures are large and vibrant, the selection of animals is great. Each page offers a new activity; colors, attributes and Mom to baby connections. Loved it!
