As a stand-alone audiobook, I wouldn't recommend this. However if you had the print version to follow along on while listening to the audiobook, I'd recommend it completely! My rating of 5/5 is in regards to the content itself, for that reason.

Even as an adult (with easy access to my background knowledge of what a salamander or spinal cord is), sometimes it was hard to picture what the narrator was referring to.  For kids who may not have run into a salamander before it would be impossible to picture, in turn ruining the comparison made in the book. 
Depending on the reader, some words may be too big to understand. Having a print copy would mitigate that, as well.

A short and sweet read on a short and sweet creature!

This audiobook was made available for me to listen to and review by Neon Squid, Dr. Jessica LaMae Whited, Macmillan Audio, and NetGalley.

This audiobook is narrated by Soneela Nankani. Ms. Nankani has a warm and engaging tone of voice. This narration includes a soundtrack of light music and fun sounds to keep kids engaged.

This is perfect for grade school age kids. I think the information is accessible to even 1st graders with parental assistance. I learned quite a bit about axolotls & salamanders. This is really cute and offers a quite thorough introduction to these animals: where they can be found, how they look, what they eat, their predators and life cycle.

Thank you to Neon Squid, Dr. Jessica LaMae Whited, Macmillan Audio, and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to and review this audiobook. All opinions and viewpoints expressed in this review are my own.

Axolotls are the number one requested animal book right now. This was a fantastic find. I listened to it with some kids and they were sad when it was over. I have Axolotls for pets and found the information accurate and informative. Great find.

My kids and I listened to this audiobook together and that really enjoyed it. I let my kids help rate the book.

Story: 5 ⭐️
Narration: ⭐️ (has music and really enjoyable.)

If you have children who are interested in science and axolotls, they will really enjoy this.
