Let me tell you a little more about this fab little non-fiction text - The animal says... Firstly, we love the different eyes popping out of the lettering on the front cover inviting you to take a peep inside and discover who is within. The style of illustration draws my mind to those of the incredible Eric Carle; a style so appealing and accessible to children. There s a fun nature to the design of each character and they d be an ideal starting point for an art project; something for home or school. Each spread is for a different animal and has four lines bursting with facts about each creature. Can you guess which animal there is talk of poop!? Kids love poo so much! A great book to introduce children to non-fiction writing. Children could choose their own animal to create and then research and write their facts about. Younger children will love joining in with making the animal noises; this would be an ideal read-aloud for in a classroom or group setting. It s hard to choose my favourite animal from the book the duck, oh the guinea pig but I can t forget the bird! It's a book you get asked to read and re-read and re-read! My 5 year old wants to try out making some animals in Debra's style. Thanks to Debra for sending me this book to review.
