Amazon.com Review

You may not know what a sea slug or a tomato frog looks like, but your kids will, especially after they get to know the animals in this charming board book. Designed to help babies and toddlers identify animals and develop vocabulary, this small, sturdy volume is vividly illustrated in the signature DK style: each page features several full-color animal photos crisply outlined against a white background. Kids will have a great time picking out their favorite animals from categories such as species and habitat, or by attributes like noisy, speedy, and spotty. As an added bonus, it's easy for little hands to hold and virtually indestructible--teething babies can chew to their heart's delight. (Baby to preschool) --Marianne Painter

I first received a DK Board book when I was expecting my now 20 month old twin boys. Since birth my husband and I have tried to read to them as much as possible an assortment of books. Always going back to their favorites-DK Board Books. Naming them all favorities but the number 1 is the Animals. They love to look at the great pictures and have learned all the sounds. This book and its adjoining set have wonderful pictures that show exactly what an object looks like and ALL children seem to just love them. I am finishing buying the set for Christmas and am waiting for more to come. GREAT GIFT FOR LITTLE ONES!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the rest of the series, August 19, 2006

This review is from: My First Animal Board Book (My 1st Board Books) (Board book)

We love the "my first board books" series - they really hold our 16-month-old daughter's interest, and she asks for them again and again. I was excited to buy the "animals" book, expecting it to be fantastic, but was disappointed to find that mixed in with the crisp, gorgeous photos that are a DK Publishing hallmark were a number of flat, uninteresting drawings of animals. Even animals that should have been easy to find photos of - wolf, penguin, pigeon - are represented by drawings instead. There are still plenty of great photos, but it's a shame that ALL the pictures aren't photos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, great price!, December 3, 1999

My son (15 months) LOVES this book. I bought it after a 20 month old friend brought it while visiting and he couldn't get enough of it. I would call out "who wants to read about animals?", and instantly would have two eager children on my lap! It is like a dictionary of animals for toddlers, and unlike many board books I have seen, it isn't just a couple of pages long.
