<\/a>I couldn’t resist sharing just three creatures from this marvelously\u00a0illustrated book.\u00a0 It is nonfiction\u00a0but the visuals are bright, clearly delineated and stunning so I thought the babies would be attracted to the pictures.\u00a0 I was right…\u00a0 Packed with many cool\u00a0facts and visuals on where certain animals live and what they eat, this book captures\u00a0twenty-five\u00a0humorous\u2014and very true\u2014explanations of why animals look the way they do in order to exist in this world.\u00a0 In totality, a bit much for infants, but with a bit of paraphrasing it was workable!\u00a0 (By the way, we identified the Panda, a Pufferfish and the Tiger!\u00a0)<\/p>\n![\"Monkey](\"http:\/\/pasadena-library.net\/kids\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/10\/files\/sites\/10\/2015\/06\/Monkey-and-alligator2-224x300.jpg\")
