Love love love this little book!

Super simple illustrations coupled with interesting facts about wildlife.

As a homeschooling momma of 3, I have to admit that I simply adore books like this!

The colors in this book are simply stunning. If you have a little that loves animals I can't think of a better book to add to your home library or classroom!

As always, thanks to the publisher and netgalley for providing a copy in exchange for an honest review.

A fun book about animals. where we have to guess whose snouts, whose tails or who had been in certain place by the things they left. Then on the next page, we can read fun facts about those animals. Some you might know already, some are new to me, and all are interesting to learn. With great illustrations, this book is so engaging.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. A fun and fascinating book about many different animals.

This is a really amazing children's book, which is full of very interesting knowledge and facts about different types of funny and fascinating animals.

There is a lot of information on each page, and the illustrations are fantastic.

I loved it a lot and I highly recommend it! All children will adore this wonderful book, and it will keep them busy and entertained, as they find out facts like: the colour of a giraffe's tongue, what animal wears bells on its tail, and what a platypus' snout looks like. I learned a lot from this book, and I am sure your child will too!

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book.

A great colourful book with lots of fun information. A fantastic educational book for children (and I’m sure some adults will learn something new too)
A great addition to your home library!

5 stars. Fascinating indeed! Colorful, engaging illustrations accompany who-knew? facts about a plethora of amazing creatures. Grownups will also enjoy learning about their homes, habits, and unique abilities. Lazy pandas, turtles with necks as long as a giraffe's, chameleons who can look in two different directions at once. This book's a keeper!

This book is really lovely. I think as an ebook you don't get the full effect but certainly it's one that I think children will love as a board book. The pictures are all colourful and bright and the guess which animal it is from a small image of it's snout, what food it eats or it's tail are just great, I love that you then get to learn about the animals. Full of facts and information. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This book did have a lot of facts and eye catching pictures, but it wasn't quite what I expected. My 4 year old lost interest a few pages in. It reminded me of a comic book the way it was laid out.
Thank you to NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for a review.

Funny and Fascinating Animals! By Anna Gasoline; Teresa Blanch, illustrated by Sigurd Martinez. I cannot wait to see this book. I will try to find it the next time I go out. It will be so much fun to show my granddaughter these animals and all these parts. Give it to my daughter to read to her and point out the pictures.

This was a very cute and fun book about animals. The book focuses on different animal features, such as tongues, tails, and snouts, and lets readers guess which feature belongs to a which animal. For example, in the Tongues layout, one page shows close-up illustrations of six different tongues. On the opposite page, there are full size illustrations of all six animals. Readers have the opportunity to match the close-up illustrations with the full-size illustrations. Then on the next pages, they learn about interesting features of all the tongues and what makes them unique. I can see young readers who are interested in animals loving this book and looking through it over and over again.

A great introduction to different types of animals. I love that this book explored different details, such as animal tracks, animal homes, different features and even animal scat! This will be a fantastic choice for readers that are interested in animal science.

Amazing illustrations and great facts about different animals that will keep children engaged as they read it. I voluntarily reviewed an advance readers copy of this book.

This book is so much fun! It educates readers about interesting, neat and often odd or funny things about many different kinds of animals found in different types of habitats. Readers will be fascinated by the cool information included here as well as loving the pictures!

This amazing book is a true winner. It is educational and full of facts about familiar and unfamiliar animals. It poses a quiz and guessing game on one page and then is followed up with actual information about those animals on the next. The book covers a variety of categories such as: whose tongue is this? Whose favourite foods are these? Whose droppings are these? Whose eyes are these? Whose footprints are these? Who lost a tooth? and Who hides here? just to cite a few.

The illustrations are bright, colourful and very child-friendly. The text is simple and easy for a child to understand. Adults will love to share the book again and again with their little ones because I am sure grown-ups will learn some fun facts too. I know I did to my delight!

I never knew that a giraffe's tongue is blue and so long that it can even clean its own ears with it or that butterflies and other insects drink not only the nectar of flowers but in certain regions of the world the tears of crocodiles and caymans. Those tears contain nutrients and minerals that are otherwise difficult to find in nature. Who knew? Definitely not me! The book is packed full of amazing facts that are both fascinating and mind-boggling!

The book is a celebration of the wonders of wildlife and will keep a child engaged from beginning to end. I love this book and recommend it. It has Storywraps endorsement for sure!

This fun and interesting children's book is a must read for children curious about the animal kingdom around the world. Dangerous animals, shy animals, animals that build fascinating homes - there is much for young learner's to discover in this book.

Not only does the author create interactive reading experiences that could help the child learn while reading or being read to, but the author has also showcased many animals from around the world - with a mix of well-known animals to some both readers young and old might be unfamiliar with. The text is filled with exciting and fascinating animal facts and is sure to be a family favourite for inquisitive readers. The bright and colourful illustrations also make the book visually appealing to read.

My only complaint is that the author did not include where each animal is to be found in the world. That would have greatly enhanced this book.

This book is a must have addition to both personal or public library collections, and would be a great springboard into lessons in the classroom, or to complement instruction.

Thank you to NetGalley and Chouette Publishing for this free eARC in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

What a fun learning experience!
The clever artistry of Sigrid Martínez combined with the planning and ideas of Anna Gasol and Teresa Blanch and the translation (French to English) by Robin Bright make this a naturalist's delight to share with everyone. The text is easy and suitable for reading WITH youngsters and also good for ESL. The plan is to picture with questions about various aspects of the animal world followed by the answers in text and illustrations. Even this grandmother learned about some creatures unfamiliar to me! Buy a copy for home, school, and your local library!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book copy from Chouette Publishing/CrackBoom! Books via NetGalley. Thank you!
