I adored this book! The illustrations are beautiful and the facts were informative, as well as entertaining. I read this book to my little sister (8) and she asked to borrow my kindle to read it two more times by herself.

What I enjoy most about this book are the illustrations. I think they are beautiful and I love how you can see all the different strokes. The dolphins and elephants are stunning! Overall this is a fun, educational book for young kids with a love for animals.

What a GREAT children's book.

The artwork was intricate and beautiful. Plenty of details for children to look at and explore. I can see how this will help lead discussion.

As a mother of a 3-year-old who is constantly asking why, this book answers those questions about many animals. Some of the animals my child is familiar with and some will be new to him. Each page highlights the actions animals do that humans can do as well. Like sliding, jumping, etc. These are great ways to keep your little one active while reading and use association with words and their meanings. Then, it goes further and explains WHY an animal would do that action.

This book could easily be incorporated into an interactive and extensive story time or lesson plan. I can also see how it will grow with my child. The last few pages have more information about the animals mentioned and suggestions for playing like an animal. I personally cannot wait to develop some great "lesson plans" of my own to keep my son entertained beyond your typical play or reading.

Gorgeous illustrations. Interesting facts! This book describes why animals do what they do. Children are sure to learn many interesting tidbits through these pages. Fun and informative, this book would be a wonderful addition to any animal lovers bookshelf.

This is a very cute children’s book. I love that it encourages outdoor play and discusses the benefits of play. The illustrations are also beautiful. My only critique is that the red boxes containing facts were not visually appealing on some of the pages. I think a lighter or more muted color would be less distracting. Otherwise, great work!
