Review Quotes: A cheery explainer for younger readers a bit hazy on the differences between animals like turtles and tortoises, or crocs and gators. "Pretty close. / But not the same," goes the refrain as Fleming pairs and compares several sets of "confusable critters." Some of the physical features she points to, such as the differently shaped snouts of dolphins and porpoises, may not be immediately discernable in real life, but Stilwell makes them prominent in her simplified figures. . . . The entry distinguishing bison from true buffalo should be a particular revelation for American readers of any age accustomed to using the two terms interchangeably. . . . For budding zoologists with a newly kindled interest in the topic. . . presented in animated verse.--Kirkus "March 1, 2026"
