This was a really easy read and a perfect gift if someone has a huge passion for animals and wildlife. The book consists of 50 animals which have been illustrated gorgeously by Hannah Dale with a little bit of information with each one. The animals range from woodland, coastal, domestic, farm animals and more. This is a perfect book for wildlife lovers and art lovers because the illustrations are gorgeously done.

I have this book more for the art than the reading, which is why it took me almost a year to read. Why read the short things about the baby animals when I can look at the pictures?

It is a great book so it gets 4 stars.

A delightful little book, with just a couple of paragraphs on each bird and animal, with a full page sketch of the baby on the page opposite.
