"This book is amazing! As a teacher, I love this book to spark creativity and higher level thinking. Students are drawn to learning about animals and this book is incredibly engaging. As a mom, I love this book because it's a great book to initiate conversation. Each page has a striking photograph of the animal, a comic-like illustration of the animal, and three types of text (an overview, fun fact, and encyclopedia-like information)."
