Product description
This clever hardcover picture book introduces young children to animal characteristics and basic classification by showing differences and unexpected similarities among groups of animals. Each spread highlights four animals with distinct actions or habitats, then reveals a shared trait — stripes, whiskers, shells and more — for a total of thirteen traits. One animal from each group links to the next spread, encouraging observation and continuity. The book ends with all forty featured animals together and search prompts (for example, find animals with spots or six or more legs) to boost visual literacy and inquiry skills. Pippa Curnick’s accurate, engaging illustrations support the informative text, and a detailed glossary reinforces early science vocabulary, making this an ideal introduction to characteristics of living things for kindergarten and early childhood classrooms.
