Review

An engaging animal identification game book that stands out in the crowd of other animal guessing game books. The cut-and torn-paper collage illustrations are both realistic and creative depicting a wide range of animals showcased against stark white pages. This sturdy book features a frog, rabbit, crab, flamingo, owl, monkey and ladybug. Each animal puzzle is done in four pages. The first two pages enlist cropped images and clues about the animal, with the next two pages providing the answer combining the previously presented images in whole. The back pages include more facts on the animals. A "How big am I" question is visually answered with the animal compared to either a human hand or body. This is excellent for young readers to get an easy-to-understand perspective on size. A listing of books for more information is also included. An excellent choice for young readers for use at home or in the classroom. A book likely to be read over and over again.

Overall Book Score: excellent
