Animals Around the World

This fun lift-the-flap book teaches readers about animals and their habitats, beginning with a world map that introduces the idea of migration. The colorful spreads that follow depict seven world habitats (“The Amazon rainforest is very hot and extremely wet—it rains for about 250 days per year”). Species appear on flaps that blend into the surroundings; readers should enjoy collecting the eye-opening bits of information underneath each friendly animal's picture, though the concept of migration doesn't carry through to the rest of the book. Ages 3–6. (Apr.)
