4.0 out of 5 stars The Illustrations Make the Book, April 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Rainforest Animals (Animals Worlds) (Hardcover)

The illustrations in this book are beautiful. I strongly believe in introducing children to the animals and habitat of the rain forest. This book is very basic, as the only text is the name of each animal on the left page with a picture of the animal on the right. It lists eight animals and shows a large picture of the rain forest in the opening and ending pages.

I recommend this book for children up to three years old. Older children will probably want more of a story.

This review is from: Rainforest Animals (Animal Worlds) (Hardcover)

Gorgeous and captivating illustrations! Right now we look at the pictures and talk about the names and sounds of the animals. There is a simple accompaning prose to each animal that should maintain her interest when she is older. One of my daughter's favorites!

This review is from: Rainforest Animals (Animal Worlds) (Hardcover)

My daughter is now two months old and I am trying to put together a library of books that will catch her eye! Rainforest Animals is a beautifully illustated and informative book that, for now, she loves to look at.

Basically all the book is is pictures of various rainforest animals such as a monkey, a frog and an anteater, with a nice short poem about what they are on the opposite page. I know it sounds simple, but the pictures are so colorful and life like your child is sure to love them, mine does!

I highly suggest picking up this book for your children, also if you are looking for a few more with beautiful pictures, Moon Dance and Rainbow Sea by Lassen are wonderful too!
