Animalia

Unnecessary VIOLENCE hidden in book

I was shocked to see the illustration and words for the letter K. "Kid kookaburra and Kelly kangaroo KIDNAPPING Kitty koala" and the illustration shows the kookaburra and kangaroo holding the koala at gun-point. This is completely an unnecessary display of violence considering the young, preschool-age target audience who is learning his/her alphabet. The book should have the characters "kissing" and not "kidnapping."

Inappropriate page w large guns and kidnapping

The page for the letter "k" has personified animals in clothes w a caption "Kid kookaburra and Kelly kangaroo kidnapping kitty koala" w a scared koala being held around the neck w a large gun pointed at her. However, if this doesn't phase you for your child to see/read, the other pages are great w spectacular illustrations.

Enduring

I remember my young daughter recieving a copy of Animalia when she was 6 years old. We loved the illustrations. This is what I would consider an art book more than a storybook. A great way to start a youngster on the path of art appreciation.

Amazing Illustrations

I purchased this book for my daughter when she was young and she absolutely loved it. Now I have nephews whom I've purchased it for and I know they'll love it as well. The graphics are amazing and the illiterations are catchy for the kids.

Glowing success with every child

Every child to whom I've given this book or with whom I've shared my copy has loved it. The artistry is amazing and gorgeous, and the words are fun as well. Can't recommend it enough.

Beautiful Book

This book is wonderful. It uses great words and has beautiful pictures. I reccommend this book to kids of all ages!!
