Summary: One of the best Animal books
Review: I got this for my one year old twins, and they simply love it! They enjoy looking at the bright and colorful photographs of all the animals and this book enables me to make it a fun way of teaching them what different animals look like and the sounds they make. One of my twins always wails when I am finished and I close the book -- she simply wants to look at the book some more! I highly recommend this book for parents with young children.

Summary: Engaging and educational
Review: My 18-month old son loves this book, and it has really helped him learn about animals. He likes to read it with us over and over again, and it's so big and sturdy that he can look through it by himself when he wants to. It always goes on long trips with us, even though its size makes it a little less convenient to pack.

Summary: A beautiful first animal photography book!!!
Review: My son received this book for his first birthday and it has quickly become a favorite. He still chooses this book regularly at storytime and he is now 18 months old. Reasons to buy this book include...

1. Great book for language development. The animals are sorted into groups including Baby Animals, Pets, On the Farm, Birds, and At the Zoo. A great book for playing "Where's the..." and "What's that?" pointing games.

2. Clear, beautiful photos. Each animal photograph is also placed against a solid colored background so that the image really stands out.

3. Unlike other animal photography books, the pages are not an animal collage with all the animals mixed in together. Each animal is shown in a square or rectangle with the name of the animals printed in lowercase underneath. Babies and Young toddlers are often confused by jumbled images and prefer the simplicity of how the animals are presented in this book.

4. The book also has a rhyming, interactive text. For example on the zoo page it says, "I'm hard to see when I'm out in the snow. Who am I? (polar bear) I carry a trunk wherever I go. Who am I? (elephant). My toddler, like most, is highly attracted to rhyming text.

Summary: My Big Animal Book
Review: This book is a favorite for my 2 year old daughter. She knows almost all of the animals now, and loves to look at all of the bright pictures. It's made of that great board book material, but it's a big size for little eyes to see all of the details. It's really helped her learn her animals!

Summary: Great book!
Review: This book is great because it goes beyond the typical "cow, pig, cat, dog" pictures that other animal books for children typically show, and has lots of examples of different *types* of a certain animal on each page. For example, the bird page has many different birds-- macaws, etc. A winner!
