"A delightful visual feast . . . if books could be honored
for the sheer number of hours readers could pore over crammed
pages, and for the inexhaustible supply of extra touches, this one
surely would be a winner."--Publisher's Weekly

creatures, all beginning with the same letter. The illustrations
are mixed media and are fun to look at."--Children's Literature
"This beautiful book contains thirteen small tales about those who
live in harmony with Animalia, kingdom of the animals...Each tale
captures wisdom about the world we share with animals. This is a
beautiful book in every sense."—The Hungry Mind Review
