Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
With its imposing trim size (nearly 13" 18"), this striking volume is almost literally a book to get lost in. Jolivet (Alphablock) matches the grandeur of the scale with large, dramatic illustrations of animals, insects and the like, at least 30 per spread, for a total exceeding 350 species. Working with a zoology consultant from the French National Museum of Natural History, the artist (who is French) groups the creatures by a stimulating variety of themes: natural habitat ("Hot"; "Cold"; "Freshwater"; "In the seas"), appearance ("Feathered"; "Horned"), size ("Large and small"), etc. These categories appear in modest type at the bottom right-hand corner of each spread, inviting readers to find for themselves what the assembled birds and beasts have in common. Jolivet also encourages close scrutiny by challenging kids to find the chameleon (yes, it changes color) planted in each spread. But even without these extra incentives, the audience will almost certainly want to scrutinize the art. Rendered in harmonious combinations of strong, vibrant colors, thickly outlined, the illustrations look like woodcuts, dazzlingly printed on soft yellow ground in dynamic arrangements. The name of each species is set in thin type, curving to mirror the angle of, say, the giraffe's neck or the head of a triggerfish. Four pages of endmatter index the represented species and supply additional information about each. Big as this book is, it will more likely whet than sate readers' appetites. Ages 4-8. (Oct.)

From The Critics
In this oversized animal book (12 3/4 x 17 3/4 inches), kids will meet an incredible variety of animals. The approach is interesting. It groups animals by certain characteristics. For example, it opens with the word "hot" on a spread and then the pages are filled with animals that you would find in a hot climate—iguana, meerkat, lion, dromedary and so on. Each animal is recognizable and outlined in black with a colored wash—while not photographic in representation, the distinguishing features of each animal are clearly highlighted be it color, spots, stripes, or shape and each is labeled should there be any doubt. The scenes change and kids meet animals that like cold weather, are feathered, have horns, live in freshwater, trees, seas, on the seabed floor, are active at night and are black and white. It is an arrangement that makes you think and more so because the animas do appear in more than one category. The closing pages present an alphabetic list of the animals, a little snippet of information and the page reference(s) where each can be seen. If you are into animal trivia or just plain curious, this is a fascinating book; especially for kids not ready for encyclopedias. Its large size makes it appropriate to put on the floor or a table since it is way to heavy and awkward for small hands. Prepared in consultation with Emanuelle Grundman of the French National Museum of Natural History, kids who subsequently go to zoos or animal parks should have a lot of fun naming the animals they have seen depicted in this book. 2003, Roaring Brook/Millbrook Press, Ages 4 to 8.

    My 3 year old will study this book for 1/2 hour!

    This is a wonderful book with great illustrations and organization. The size makes it extra-special for little kids. Every kid who has seen this book wants one for himself.

    Fab book for youngsters

    I saw this book in my local Library , my 3 yr old loved it so much that I had to have one of our own. Beautiful pictures of animals in interesting categories; ie nighttime creatures, stripes & spots, animals all around us etc. Big format is great to use as a 'blackboard' --- copy pictures and ask friends
