## Description

desertcart.com: Animalia (Picture Puffins): 9780140559965: Base, Graeme: Books

Review: You'll get what you see in the picture - First off, our family LOVES anything Graeme Base, this book does not disappoint. The rich illustrations, the vocabulary, the hidden pictures (What else can you find that starts with L?), the alliteration... all of it is here. A child can spend hours on this book, and it's a great way to spend time with the kids. His books offer much for a reluctant readers. Second, I was looking for the 25th anniversary edition online and somehow happened upon this listing (I didn't find it through desertcart search engine). The listing didn't mention the book being 25th Anniversary Edition, but I bought it (for much cheaper than anywhere else online) because the picture showed the 25th Anniversary Edition. It arrived today and I was thrilled that it was indeed the anniversary edition. This particular edition comes with a poster on the inside of the jacket "that holds a riddle to be solved." As a side note, I saw this book at a local big box book store and was very disappointed in cover of the paperback. It looked like a poor photocopy. So, if you're trying to decide between paperback and hardcover, I would recommend hardcover... and buy it now while the 25th Edition is still being sold (look at the picture, you'll see "25th Anniversary Edition" at the top of the cover if it is). Also, in regards to the negative reviews.... I use anything that shocks me as a teachable moment with my child. How can I teach them to deal with the emotions associated with being exposed to something unusual? There is no doubt in my mind that my children are exposed to so many things that I would prefer them not to be exposed to on a daily basis. I don't set out to shelter them from these things, but offer advice and talk about the 'weird' things we see and that happen to us on a daily basis. It is our job as parents to prepare our kids for the Big World out there. Trust me, this book will not harm your child... get it.
Review: Amazing... - Book from my childhood... beautiful ART!

Book from my childhood... beautiful ART!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Graeme Base books are awesome for sharing quiet time with kids.
*by B***D on June 19, 2024*

Animalia is one of the first books I gift to family & friends of young kids. This helps teach the alphabet, animals & rhyming, in a fun way which includes hidden items to locate at each letter. Spent more than a few Christmas's on living room floor with kids, nephews, nieces and young cousins. We would usually get about 45 min. to an hour at a time of them being engaged in a quiet group activity. This was before this digital device age where two, three year olds & up are using phones & tablets wayyyyy to much time each day, that quiet analog time together is even more important now. Graeme Base is a fantastic artist with a good number of these kinds of books to spend quality time with your kids. I have found Animalia to be popular with younger kids (3 to 4 ish & up) which is why its one of the first I gift. I also highly reccomend "The Eleventh Hour". It is a mystery with puzzles for all ages above say 7 or so & up depending on interests, attention span, problem solving skills, etc. Even 3 letter agency staff have enjoyed that mystery book. I put Graeme Base books on par with Hayao Miyazaki movies for originality, artistry and story. Buy & enjoy, if you can tear them away from digital.
