Customer Reviews

A book for young children to learn about small mammals.

Young children are naturally curious about animals. Creatures Small and Furry uses photography and a simple text to present the smallest of animals in a pleasurable way for children. The author points out to his readers that small, furry animals are all around us and in far off places. Most of the animals near us, we never see. Many are nocturnal. As the child turns each page, another small animal is introduced with information presented about that particular animal and all mammals in general. One new general idea is added as the pages are turned until all of the characteristics of mammmals unfold for the young reader. This wonderful book will be enjoyed time and time again by young children.
