Hundreds of combinations of wild and farm animals scamper, slither and prowl across the card-stock pages. There's a bonus puzzle on the back of each spread: a family of mice scamper across FARM ANIMALS; a daffy menagerie inhabits WILD ANIMALS. The shout-out-loud animal sound combinations and bright images encourage parent and child interaction while gently fostering developmentally sound principles of color and shape recognition.
