Review

This book utilizes a clever question-and-answer approach to informing children on the activities of seven animals. Starting with a question regarding various activities, the response includes an animal that does the same activity. Although children and animals may be doing a similar activity, for the animals, it is not always about just doing it just for fun! A great format to provide facts about animals and point out what we have in common with them.

The watercolor illustrations are colorful and expressive and realistically display the animals in their various activities. The back pages include a summary of the animals in the story that include: honeybees, gazelles, cattle egrets, gray tree frogs, leaf-cutter ants, marmosets and flamingos. An excellent addition for any collection.

Overall Book Score: very good
