Pjs, cuddling, and story-time before bed is a favorite at our house! The last couple weeks the kids had so much fun reading some new material I was given advanced copies of. It’s cute how now they ask what new books I have to read. As soon as I’m finished they will tell me what they loved about the book. My great little reviewers! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️📚📖 @netgalley #netgalley

The photos are bright, clear, and gorgeous, but it's the presentation that makes this my favorite new animal book. The presentation really makes this gorgeous book stand out.
The facts are really fun, too. I have never heard of many of these animals, and even the ones I've heard of have neat facts. I think it's so cool that kangaroos used to live in trees and there is one species of nocturnal monkeys! Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this
This book is amazing me and my kids poured over the pictures and facts. I love any book that helps my littles be curious about the world and this book delivered. The pictures are beautiful and vivid. The facts are fascinating and even as a late 30s adult i learned things that i didn't even know were possible or even existed. We will absolutely be looking into more books by Hoare!
Odd Animals Out is such a delight for readers of all ages! It covers a wide expanse of unique animals with facts about their behaviors, habitats, appearances, etc. The pages are so colorful and have a combination of illustrations and pictures. I love that it includes a table of contents and an index for easy reference.
Perfect for children or adults that love science or interesting facts!
I received an ARC from DK | DK Children via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This book was absolutely fascinating! Both my young son and I learned so much about different animals we had never seen before. This book is broken down into an easy to understand sections. The different facts including size of appendages, feather colors were so interesting. I think this book would be perfect for a classroom learning about animals. The text and photos are both very engaging! Definitely a great book for any animal loving kiddo!
