My Review:
Created by musicians and educators, Animals Are Great is a colorful and cheerful read for babies and toddlers, teaching about animal sounds through rhyming words and playful tunes.
With the combination of vivid illustrations and lyrical repetitions, the book introduces early readers to a cute mix of wild and farm animals which appear in different types of natural environment, make distinctive sounds and engage in various amusing activities. A QR code inside the book can be scanned to unlock exclusive music videos, which greatly enhance the joy of reading and learning.
While encouraging curious little ones to explore nature and enjoy the adventure, the story makes them aware that animals come in different sizes and looks. It emphasizes that ALL of them are important parts of our beautiful world and deserve our love and care.
Music, by design, makes an integral part of the reading experience of this interactive book. Multiple versions of music videos are provided to simutaneously stimulate young children's senses of sight and sound, inviting them to sing, dance, imitate, imagine and go wild. They may also learn to communicate through sign language, or be inspired to create their own silly songs with a musical instrument.
Fun to read aloud and sing along, Animals Are Great makes a most entertaining beginner book that fosters a love for animals, for music, and for reading.
