Learn the rainbow with red snakes, orange fish, and yellow birds. Learn to count as two scorpions fight, four penguins waddle, and nine ants work. Andrew Zuckerman's vivid pictures of fascinating animals from around the world will enthrall young readers and teach basic colors and numbers in a celebration of nature in two books that bring the wildly successful photographer's work to a whole new audience. The up-close and personal photos of everyone's favorite animals make these board books perfect educational tools for any child, and stunning works of art for animal lovers of all ages.
Filled with crisp and clear photographs of animals against a white background, these books stand out visually in a crowded board book market. The Colors book is the more successful of the two with the colors popping on each page. The Numbers book is still well done and extends from counting individual animals to counting legs and fins as well. Both books are strong additions to library and family collections.
Relying on photographs of active creatures found mostly in the wild, this board book teaches young readers to count from one to ten. I love the 8 legs creeping photograph and the one of the two tigers playing together. This is an adorable book.
