Parents' Choice
From the endearing content pages to the Can You See That - (“a zebra’s muzzle is black with no stripes,” “a capybara has a long, flat muzzle and small ears”) invitation to explore the extraordinarily detailed life-size photos, young readers are immediately drawn to this book of remarkable design.
Readers are captivated by, and at, every turn of the page. The book’s allure is punctuated with enormous foldouts of a giraffe, an elephant, and a rhinoceros. Each of the twenty animals, (twenty one if you count the elephant calf) photographed at Japan’s premier zoos, is identified with its name (common and scientific), sex, and age. Right-page borders are illustrated with brief animal facts.
Not to be missed.
