Media Reviews
* Captivating...the poems...manage to convey a great deal of factual information in addition to bits of whimsy...This engaging work would be very effective as a read-aloud and will be even more effective when paired with nonfiction titles. Highly Recommended. --Library Media Connection, starred review
A vibrant, general book about animals for the very young...Children will enjoy paging through and identifying the multitude of brilliantly hued animals that make up this visual zoo. --Booklist
There are many delights here for sparking up a story time or simply rejoicing in the varied creatures, from lizards to giraffes. --Horn Book Magazine
Will be appreciated by animal lovers and science fans alike. --Kirkus Reviews
Ehlert's mixed-media collages tend more toward the true animal hues found in nature than some of her previous books. The layers of handmade paper--brightly colored and often richly textured--that form each critter, crisply arranged on a white background, lend a sense of up-close immediacy...Budding naturalists and animal lovers of a broad range will surely be amused. --Publishers Weekly
