Editorial Reviews

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

5.0 out of 5 stars More More More!!, November 26, 2000

By	Melanie Kingdon (Salt Lake City, UT USA) - See all my reviews

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!!!

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

By A Customer

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome for Little Animal Lovers, October 22, 2000

By	Jodi Lee (Southern, California) - See all my reviews

Our 26 month old son has been an animal lover since birth! So I have alot of hands on experience with all types of "animal" books, touch and feel, board books, hard-cover, "sound", etc. I purchased this book about two months ago. From the day I brought it home, this adorable but realistic book is one of Jake's favorites. Part of our family bed-time routine is reading time; my husband and I sit with Jakey and read different books for about 30 minutes. If we forget to "choose" Jakey's "mamal" book, we are in big trouble. This book goes everywhere with us when Mommy has to run errands or has an appointment. This week Jakey had tubes put in his ears and he choose this book and "Good-Night Moon" and "Guess How Much I Love You" to take with. From a parents perspective, the pictures are bright and colorful and yet the animals are "real". The catagories are delightful, especially "baby" animals and "noisey" animals. He loves to make the sounds, the donkey and the seal are his favorite, he cracks up everytime Mommy attempts to "Ee-Aww". This is also a book that he "reads" by himself. We would highly recommend this book for showing what real animals look like and "sound" like. Believe me, its much more fun than pushing a button to hear a canned rooster.
