Why Do Okapis Look So Funny? is so cute! There are 6-7 rainforest animals highlighted in the book. Each page offered interactive prompts to count or answer a question. My 3yo love it! Thanks NetGalley for the ARC!

Love! This book is so perfect for many ages. Though some of the pages are length for a 1-2 year old, the illustrations, fun facts, labels, and little interactions throughout the book make it such a well rounded book to have in your personal library for your kids or your classroom!!
