Amazingly beautiful book. Children practice counting to 10 while counting the wild animals. The pictures will keep the adults' attention because they are soooo marvelous.

A fun counting and hidden picture book; it isn't the Eleventh Hour, but it's a good one!

Great pictures, my Kindergarten class wanted to read it again. Shows habitats all over the world, and how we all need water.

I read it to my Kindergarten class, they loved it, a 2nd grade class didn't get the same thrill. As with all of G.B.'s books, there's a lot going on in the pictures that is missed as a read-aloud (and even reading alone, on this my 8th or so perusal, I just noticed animals at the top and bottom of each page that I had never seen before. Along the same line as Gary Larson and his cows, and Mark Teague and his pigs, Base seems to have a strange fascination with frogs wearing human clothes.
