"Jenkins and Page are back with another exceptional nonfiction title for young children... Readers are sure to linger on the images and appreciate the extensive craftsmanship that went into each feather and scale. A versatile early nonfiction title that will enhance both public and school library collections and is sure to become a household favorite." -School Library Journal "Their latest nonfiction offering adopts a more unconventional format: readers are given clues about an animal before it is revealed on the subsequent page. This playful layout makes this an ideal book for read-alouds... a delightfully fresh resource on the animal world." -Booklist "...The thoughtful selections and careful crafting of this new one should make it a good home choice and welcome addition to any collection." -Kirkus --
