Description: Ruth Heller's distinctive, engaging verse and striking illustrations of more than 80 clearly labeled species make this book a wonderful introduction to mammals. From the largest whale to the smallest shrew, here is a wealth of information and a source of pleasure for any nature lover.
Review Quotes: "Here are twenty double-page spreads all bright with mammals. Large, tiny, prehistoric, unusual--they are all here in repeatable rhymes, and a million-dollar word (viviparous) is tossed in for good measure."
--The Provident Bookfinder
"Both simple and surprising, Heller's sprightly picture books use verse and unusually harmonious pictures to introduce the animal kingdom. Chickens lists some of the many good things that come in egg packages, while Animals mentions all manner of mammals."
