Great subject matter and format

A collection of short "stories" (about half page of text, the rest of each two-page spread is illustration) about various animals. They are divided into chapter categories: animals who help each other, animals babies, animals who hide and save their food, how animals talk to each other. We got this when my daughter was 3.5 and she was able to sit still for a few pages at a time and enjoy it. Now that she is 5 I consider it part of our science homeschool curriculum. Very good illustrations, and interesting subject matter for both kids and adults. Each animal description stands alone but it's a pretty thick book, so you can choose a short or long reading session. I gave it 5 stars because it is difficult to find good "readaloud" material for younger kids that has enough words per page to encourage listening skills and imagination, but yet the content is appropriate and interesting for them.
