I found the poems to be quite cute. If I come back to this review later on, then I might just have to sit down and write up a few quotes from it here. 🥰

Also the artwork. 📈📈📈

Loved it, to say the least.

The pull out panorama is fun to study with a child, but it doesn't lend itself to sleep. After reading about all of the sleeping animals, and then we open this page, and Bingo! The child pops up and wants to look at all of the pictures. I guess I should use this when I don't want the child to fall asleep.

This would be a good book for your early learners for an integrated science and literature lesson on habitats.
