I Love Animals

By Flora McDonnell

Book Overview

"A charming picture book filled with a small child's joyous love for all the animals on her farm. Large, bold illustrations and a clear text fairly explode with exuberance." -- SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL I love Jock, my dog... I love the donkey braying "Hee-haw" Do you love animals, too? Flora McDonnell's exuberant salute to our favorite beasts--a gallant dog, two genial ducks, an adoring ewe and her rowdy lamb, among many others--captures their characters in large, brilliant portraits. Perfect for sharing with several children or just one, I LOVE ANIMALS is as much fun as a visit to a real farm.

Customer Reviews

farm animals are great for one little girl

My three year old son seemed to like this book a lot. He paid attention through the whole thing, probably because there is nice repetition throughout. We got to pretend to be different animals and we talked about other animals he 'loved' when we were done. It is great for children just learning to talk as well as those who will have plenty to add about their liking animals too.

Beautiful Illustrations

Flora McDonnell is amazing. Her illustrations are simple and beautiful. The animals' expressions are delightful. A must have for every child's library.

Beautiful, large pictures and simple text.

This book was the only one my daughter wanted me to read to her for months, even when she was under one. I would just recite the simple text of the book and it would make her smile. The book is great because of the large colorful pictures of adorable animals and the uncluttered pages are easy for a toddler to focus on. Be prepared to read it over and over!
