Review for My Animal Book by Okido














A hands-on, action-packed title that asks and answers questions young children often have about animals.

How do animals live? What do they eat? Is a human being an animal? Children have all sorts of questions about animals, and in My Animal Book those questions are answered. A little girl named Koko helps children to think about animals and make comparisons with their own lives. There are also three intrepid explorers who go on adventures to a variety of places to find out about different species. Young readers investigate each topic by playing and learning.

    Review:
     
    My Animal Book is a fun book where children will learn how animals live, what they eat, what they do, and more. Inside each section there are games and crafts that children will enjoy. The colorful illustrations and characters help teach the reader along the way through their journey. The characters of the story also get the reader thinking by posing questions to them. The dimensions of this book are large and contains lots of animal information. Great to use as a reference book. Fans of the books by Okido and who are familiar with the illustrations will enjoy this 64 page book in this series. Other books include My Big World and Head to Toe.
