Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 2–These titles introduce children to different animals while getting them to be more active. In each colorful book, a high-quality photo shows an animal and a child imitating a pose or action. For example, in Safari, children are urged to, "Gallop like a zebra–don't look back!" Glossaries are scant and don't include all of the words highlighted in bold in the texts. Although these books are well intended, they fall flat. They are not very informative and will be of minimal use in libraries.– Lisa S. Schindler, Children's Librarian, Bethpage Public Library, NY
