Crinkleroot's 25 Mammals Every Child Should Know (Library Binding)

~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-K-Attractive series entries with almost no texts. Both domesticated and wild species are identified in Mammals; Animals includes primarily insects and amphibians. The softly toned watercolors often place the subjects in their natural habitats, and the endpapers are inviting and dreamlike. What's missing here are the informative notes and friendly tips on enjoying nature found in Arnosky's Crinkleroot's Guide to Knowing the Birds and Trees (both Bradbury, 1992) for slightly older audiences. Still, parents and teachers will welcome this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book for young children just learning to identify animals, November 19, 2008

By	Rockville, MD - See all my reviews

We got this book out of the library for my animal-crazy toddler daughter (common refrain = "More animal book!!!"). I really like the fact that there are only one or two animals per page, and - more importantly - that fairly similar animals are often in the same spread. For instance, the fox is next to the wolf; both look fairly similar to the inexperienced child, but the fox is red and slightly smaller than its larger grey cousin. Please note that there is extremely little text outside of Crinkleroot's introduction. Most pages just have a detailed illustration and the associated name of the labeled critter. This layout is perfect for my kid right now. However, if you have an older child, you may want something with wordier descriptions.
