 In the first half, the rhyming text gently carries the reader from one vivid page of scratchboard illustrations to the next, traveling from A to Z while visiting North American birds, insects and other animals along the way, each portrayed with whimsical authenticity in their natural environments. In the second half, young children will delight in counting animals from around the world. There are some large numbers, too, including 1,000 tadpoles - and, yes, there really are exactly a thousand! Decorative borders offer extra surprises for sharp-eyed youngsters, while parents, older siblings and teachers will appreciate the detailed information about each animal in the Nature Notes at the back of the book.Awards & Honors
