CBC Showcase: Math and Science in Fact and Fiction
A teeming zoo of creatures swims, flies, and stampedes through the nearly two-foot-tall pages of this beautifully illustrated book.
by Joelle Jolivet
Jolivet groups her animals loosely into categories related to habitats, habits, or appearance: In the Trees, In the Seas, At Night, Spots and Stripes. Rendered in bright colors and in the bold, clean lines and graphic contrasts of linoleum cuts, the animals appear in chaotic spreads that may be more decorative than instructive. But the book's magnificent size and diversity of animals make a powerful visual impact that will easily attract preschoolers to the expansive pages, where they'll point to the animals they know and discover a world of new species. -- Booklist
