Review
BooklistPreschoolers will enjoy the interactive format in this large board book, part of the Lift the Flap series, and the zoology facts are quite detailed, widening the books audience to grade-schoolers, too. Each doublepage spread shows wildlife in a particular habitat, including a rain forest, woodlands, a rocky desert, the Himalayas, a savannah, a coral reef, and the Arctic. . . .An interactive choice for a wide age range.
