Incredible illustrations with a fun (and educational) story
This has been my go-to holiday gift for my friends with young kids. Honestly, the book could have no words and it would still be great to get. It's filled with incredible illustrations of all sorts of animals with incredible detail. You could spend hours pointing out anything from anteaters to narwhals.
Tsurumi's whimsical style makes each frame engaging both for adults and children alike. It's a children's book that you will enjoy reading as well... even if it's the 15th time that week. There's also a lot of great opportunity to ad-lib - if that's your thing - and tell the story in an animated way (pun intended).
As other reviewers have pointed out, the story itself is simple. In my experience, that's kinda a nice thing as it makes participation super easy. It won't take long for a young one to memorize most of the book, which makes it way more interactive.
Overall, I can't recommend this book enough - I've bought 3 or 4 copies for gifts by now. And if you don't believe me, you can check out all the awards it's winning. I just heard NPR name it as a Best Book of 2017

Hilarious Pictures Make A Great Teaching Aid Book
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2019
Our daughter once spilled yellow paint on a carpeted stairway—rather than tell anyone, she was afraid of the consequences, and left the scene immediately. To this day anyone who goes down those stairs sees a small streak of indelible yellow. Had we had this book before then, maybe that accident could have been remedied.This author accurately portrays (in very funny pictures) the way kids feel when accidents occur—to them, it’s a daunting experience, or in the book’s words….”a disaster, major mess, calamity, etc.” And what’s typically their first reaction? The same as my daughter’s—to flee the scene forever. What makes this book especially precious are the hilarious pictures demonstrating accidents of all kinds. Our seven year old loves poring over the busy pages seeking out every oddball accident. This author knows how to tickle kids’ funny bones as well as make them realize these horrendous mistakes are simply just accidents that can be fixed. I love the ending which shows the mama kangaroo having an accident too…they happen to everyone. We read this book often.
