A gorgeous combination of life-sized animal photographs and interesting facts on each creature. Readers will be wowed by the enormous lion that folds out to its full size that is cleverly combined with a lion cub so that the growth can be understood. The bottomless black of the eyes of a seal will draw readers in. The amazing color of an orangutan’s coat will have small hands rubbing the photograph. The final photo of the glory of a hippopotamus and its coarse hairs and moist skin finishes the collection on a high note. This book will be shared between children and appeals to a wide range of ages. Make sure you have the first book Life-Size Zoo at hand too.
The photographs here are the heart of the book. It is a pleasure to see photos with such clarity printed in this large a format. The detail of skin, fur, eyes and mouths is astonishing and invites readers to lean in and really see the animals close up. The facts with each animal apply both to the specific specimen in the photograph and to the animal in general. The section about the close up offer small details that children will enjoy looking for in the photos.
Guaranteed to get appreciative exclamations from young readers who will turn to the photos again and again. Appropriate for ages 4-8.
