Animals ... and Their Families

Welcome to the animal kingdom where families try to survive in a variety of habitats, including tundra, rainforest and savannah.

Children aged 2 to 4 will enjoy this up-close and personal look by Barbara Nascimbeni at nearly three dozen land, sea and tree dwelling creatures (penguin, goat, owl, peacock, fish, tiger, wolf, snail and many others).

We thought of the hymn by Cecil Frances Alexander as we paged through this colorful book: "All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small, all things wise and wonderful, the Lord God made them all" (Owlkids Books, 2012).
