Starred Review
It's hard to go wrong combining cute kids with adorable animals, but special kudos must be given for the very natural way Rotner has included diversity--it's especially gratifying to see diversity normalized and validated early, at the same time that reading comprehension is taught. Simple, encouraging text, charming photographs, straightforward, unpretentious diversity, and adorable animals--what's not to like?
