Mom's Review

The first thing you'll notice is, of course, the size. Then the stunning animal portraits themselves. Soulful eyes observe the reader from simply and beautifully depicted animals from around the globe. Large, clear print at the top of each page names each creature, fostering the prereading skill of print awareness.

Animal Portraits sets itself apart in part with its size - children look into faces the size of their own, their whole visual field shared. Furthermore, the range of species depicted is noteworthy. With so many "farm animal" and "jungle animal" books on the market, Animal Portraits distinguishes itself with its variety.

An eye-catching gem in any collection, Animal Portraits will be a treat for young eyes.
