A fun, interactive, visual learning tool for toddlers to learn their colors as well as learning about animals and how they look. A great way to introduce young children to animal facts and their different markings. -- Stephanie Curtner, Adventures Thru WonderlandA book aimed at toddlers to stimulate development, it helpfully provides black-and-white silhouettes to encourage awareness and identification of shapes, as well as the same pictures in full colour. A fun idea which allows for a bit of guessing and game-play at story time. -- Laura HainsworthClever visual matching exercises to help kids recognize shapes, patterns and colors that are familiar to specific animals they may have seen at the zoo or in other picture books.
