This larger than life book appeals to children because of it's very large size. The art work is outstanding and because there is very little written word except the name of all the animals it lends itself to discussion. My 2-1/2 year old grandson Gavin loves it. Also on every page is a chameleon who changes to be like the animals on the page, so finding him is another adventure for young folks. Animals are grouped in interesting ways, for example "black and white animals", not your average animal book. As a biologist, animal lover, and grandparent it is an A+ read. And at such a reasonable price I bought two. Buy it, you will love it!

I loved this book. It's an oversized book and it's full of animals that you find in the Zoo. The illustrations of the animials are simply beautiful. Exactly my taste. The book has barely any text, only pages full of animials along with their names.

I love this book. I am an art teacher and I use this book in my class as reference for all the beautiful yet simple graphic shapes Ms. Jolivet produces in her work depicting animals

I love this book! It has beautifully crafted illustrations and artistic groupings of animals-not the typical ABC animal picture book. I love its larger size and I enjoyed the interesting information tidbits located in the back pages of the book. Adults can really enjoy spending time looking at this book with their kids.

My daughter found this book at a preschool class one day, being an animal lover I *had* to get it. This book is wonderful, it has such a wide variety of animals, names for every single one, and in the back there is an index of sorts, with every animal listed alphabetically, the page(s) they can be found on, and some interesting facts about each one. Really a fantastic book. I'm so glad we came across it or I'd never have known about this awesome book!

And the opinion that matters most: Our daughter adores it. So much that she has "broke it" (ripped it) a few times with all her excited page turning. She can name a good portion of the animals, and now is to the age of asking what the unrecognized ones are and attempting to repeat the names.

From a young age, my boys have loved this book. They relish discovering the names of all of the animals, and it's a great point of discussion for bedtime. We weave our own stories about the animals, making this a wonderful book for sharing.

I bought it for my bf's school's library. He has a class of 1st and 2nd graders. I was doing show and tell when I first brought the books in and they loved it!!!!!!

I got this book for my niece's 2nd birthday. She loves looking at all the different animals and saying their name and what sound they make. Absolutely gorgeous book. One thing, I didn't realize how tall the book was going to be! It's large size just made it even more special though!

I bought this book for my 3 year old. He loves it, as do I. The graphics are wonderful, the size is impressive ( makes a big impact for a little boy!), and I like that it is educational.

great book and it was in the condition we were expecting, and got it quickly!
