This is a double delight for this is both an absolutely stunning picture book as well as being a wonderful story of animals and their habitats. Travelling around the world in rhyme you’ll meet all sorts of creatures swinging in trees, burrowing underground and spinning a web. It’s not often a picture book is also perfect for the 5-7 year old market as well as toddlers but this one is just that for at the end of the book you’ll find some brilliant facts, simply told about many of the different habitats you find in the world. It’s essential for the nursery bookshelf, both for sharing with parents and for reading alone.
Do you know where elephants live? Or where a koala makes its home? This book helps children learn about a wide variety of creatures and where they live. It includes endnotes on animals, spiders, and habitats.
