REVIEW
Wide-Eyed Editions has created a rather delightful atlas that works well for reading straight through or for just browsing. Not only is the book crammed with fascinating information about various animals around the world, but the illustrator clearly meant the illustrations to be enjoyed. When I read about hippos, for example, I do not expect to see a hippo floating on it's back or wearing a bib, or wearing a grass skirt. Clearly the illustrator had way too much fun with this. However, I am pretty sure that children will delight in looking for these little fun touches and learning a lot about world geography and animals along the way. Each continent is covered with a few animals from each continent receiving special attention (their own two page spread). If you have animal lovers at your house or library this book is bound to be a hit.
