My Thoughts
In this book ABOUT MAMMALS it shows images of mammals from the smallest to the largest, from mammals that live underground and those that live above ground, even mammals in the oceans. Some with lots of fur/hair to those that have hardly any.
At the back of the book called the Afterword is more details on each of the mammals pictured in the book.
On the back cover of the book it has these questions:
- What does a mammal look like?
- What does a mammal eat?
- Where does a mammal live?
- WHAT IS A MAMMAL?
I find this series to be a wonderful go to for boys and girls to get them more involved with nature and wildlife. My husband was very impressed the series. I like that it relates to the very young and the old. I have already read a couple of other books by this author and illustrator and plan on making my way through the series and others.
I highly recommend this book to all children also parents, teachers, and librarians.
I rated this book a 5 out of 5.
Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book from Peachtree Publishers for review. I was in no way compensated for this review. It is my own honest opinion.
If you found this review helpful vote yes or no here.
I love to read the book, KISSING HAND, when school first starts. It is about a raccoon as well as several other animals/mammals. As with lots of children's books that contain animals, children may not know the name of the animal, much less it's real life characteristics. I think it is so important to have some nonfiction books to read and view along with fiction books for children to explore.
