Animal Friends

by Global Fund for Children, Maya Ajmera, John D. Ivanko, et al.

No matter if your friends have feathers or fur or if they're big or small you need to love and take care of them. Smiling faces from fifteen countries around the world introduce adorable, and sometimes exotic, animal friends. Once again Maya Ajmera and John Ivanko team up to share their vision of teaching youngsters the value of diversity and aiding them to grow into productive, caring citizens of the world. Beautiful and often comical photographs of children and their animal friends from all over the world portray the innocence and joy of childhood and a child's easy appreciation and love of a favorite pet.

Customer Reviews

Fun book

This is a really cute book with actual photographs of kids and their animal friends from around the world. Very educational/interesting. My daughter loves it because it's the actual photos. Makes it seem more relatable. No real story to speak of, the draw is in the pictures of the children and animals. Fun.

Super cute pictures

This book is perfect for introducing your little one to the many animals and ethnicities of the world.

animal friends--not bad

this book is not bad, but not one of my son's (18 mos) favorites. we both enjoyed global babies very much. if you are looking for animal books...we like busy doggies and busy barnyard. not a bad book though.

beautiful pictures, perfect for all ages

We found this book at our local library: what a find! The real life pictures are from all around the world, featuring children of all ages holding the animals ingidinous to their part of the globe. About 14 pages of about 5 words per page, it was perfect for my newly toddling son. A very nice example of diversity within a child's book.
