Interesting, and Original

This book is very interesting, original, and talks about a lot of different animals. I like science, yet I was surprised to find animals in this book I had not heard of. It is a very cute book, I loved sharing it with my five year old. Super great find-at an Aquarium in Baltimore. We highly recommend it!!!
