Funny and Fascinating Animals is one of the best places for a child to expand their knowledge on the animal kingdom. This book, albeit a guide, serves as a mini yet simple encyclopaedia to little kids with cute illustrations and easy sentences that are user-friendly.

This book was great! My daughter loved reading some interesting animal facts and matching up the animals’ tails, tracks, mouths, etc. I liked that it featured many animals such as the peacock, kangaroo, etc. on top of the most popular like lions, tigers, bears. We also loved the illustrations.

A great book for growing minds. This book features a variety of different animals. I enjoyed that it included animals that aren't featured as often in other books. Children get the opportunity to learn fun facts about different animals immediately followed up with an interactive page right after. A great way to add in reading / listening comprehension as you go through the book.

The pictures are nice and colorful and have lots of things for children to look at and discuss as you read.

10/10 would purchase this book for the children in my life.

A fun educational book about animals! Children will love learning unique facts about animals. Vibrant pictures abound. This will be perfect for early elementary school aged children.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was amazing! We loved all of the pictures and the different activities on each page. Ronan loved looking for all of the different things in the pictures and trying to figure out who matches what! The illustrations were so pretty, colorful and fun. Not only were the matching games fun, but we learned so many animals facts that we didn't know before! This is definitely one we will read over and over.

Amazingly educational! Funny and Fascinating Animals is one of the best children's non fiction books that I've read this year. I really enjoyed reading this book and believe it or not, I learned quite a bit myself. Like how a giraffe's tongue is so long that it can clean its ears with it! I also learned about some animals/fish that I never heard of -- like the mandarinfish.

Clearly, the authors and the illustrator have conducted extensive research to compile such an educational and colorful book for the young ones. I'll be sure to look for them at my favorite bookstore for my grands. I am sure that Funny and Fascinating Animals will be one of their favorites. Five outstanding stars.

I received a digital copy of the book from Chouette Publishing through NetGalley. The review herein is completely my own and contains my honest thoughts and opinions.

What a fantastic book with great illustrations, I will definitely be picking this up for my preschool class. There is so much interesting information and bright colourful pictures, children of all ages will love it

What a great book for kids! I read it to the kids that live next door and they loved learning all the fascinating things about different animals. There were lots of giggles to go around too. The illustrations are done beautifully and really keep the kids glued to the pages.

My 7-year-old and I loved this book! It is a nonfiction book that talks about animal facts in a fun way. Each topic has an interactive animal trait matching game, and on the following pages are the answers and more information about the different animal traits. My son had fun matching snouts, habitats, footprints, and more to the correct animal. There were a lot of cool animals we had never heard of. We stayed up past bedtime to finish because he didn’t want to stop reading!

This is the perfect book for any animal lover. The illustrations were bright and beautiful. It was a fun engaging read, and my son was discussing all the new facts he learned when we finished. Thank you to NetGalley and Chouette Publishing for a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a fun book to help teach children fun facts about many different animals. There are some matching games included where you match the animal with the topic discussed. We start with tongues. A giraffe's tongue is blue and long enough that he can clean his ears. Did you know that?

Then food. Butterflies not only eat nectar from flowers but in some places the tears of crocodiles. They contain special nutrients.

Coats. Very colorful animals including some not very familiar like mandarin fish and peacock spiders.

Signs animals have been there such as their scatt.
This is a very informative book but done in such a fun way.

Funny and Fascinating Animals is a fantastic book. My son loved the colorful illustrations. I really enjoyed the interactive aspects of this book. Several pages included matching activities to help keep young readers engaged.

I look forward to adding this book to my son’s library at home,

Very colorful! Loved how the author chose lessor known animals and gave fun new facts. Not the same boring giraffes are tall and pigs say oink. Great book for elementary libraries.

Funny and Fascinating Animals! was extremely interesting and a delight to read. We learned so much new information about animals and wildlife that we didn't know before. The illustrations were fantastic and really helped bring the book to life. Guessing which charactaristic went with each animal/insect was a fun game for my young readers.

This book helps us learn many interesting facts about different animals. It first always lets you guess the right answer and then tells you on the next side the right ones. We learn things like what animal eats wich things. Wich Animal leaves wich foot Prints etc. the answers are also always beautifully described and shown in the illustrations.
If you want to learn more about animals this could be the Book for you.
Thank you to NetGalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

We loved learning about the fascinating facts about different animals. I love the way the information is organized. The illustrations are great and full of so much color. We were excited to see our favorite animal, The Peacock Spider, was included.

What a fantastic book!
The illustrations are beautiful and so colourful, which help keep a kid's attention but also are very fun to look at as an adult.
The facts chosen are a good mix of informative and special or surprising, without being too complicated.

I particularly love how each section starts with a game, which motivates the child to interact with their reading and question their pre-existing knowledge. Brilliant way to get them to engage actively with the content.

There is a wide variety of animals from different regions on Earth, some well known and some I had never heard of!

The information texts aren't too long and the vocabulary is appropriate for children age 7+ alone, or younger with an adult.

I highly recommend!




Thank you NetGalley and Chouette Publishing for an Advanced Copy.

Funny and Fascinating Animals-by Anna Gasol and Teresa Blanch; Illustrated by Sigrid Martinez
A very well written book with cute facts about animals to read, especially to your child or grandchildren. All children will enjoy this book full of facts about animals and well illustrated photos to show each fact, and all will enjoy the photos and the facts about animals. The first chapter is about tongues, and shows photos of the tongues of each animal and you match the tongues up with the proper animal. After matching up the tongues with the animals, the next part tells about each tongue and their unique descriptions of the tongues., The giraffe has a tongue that is so blue, it's almost a black color. Plus, the tongue is so long that the giraffe can even clean it's ears with it's tongue! This is such a cute fact for all to know and each animal will have this cute description of their tongue which will be a rewarding fact for all to learn and see the wonderful photos.
This is a great element for all to know about this enjoyable book is, the great photos of the well-known facts and about all the different animals.
My favorite part of the book was the chapter about tracks. This chapter shows photos of the tracks of the animals and you match the tracks with the proper animal. After you have matched the animals correctly, you are given the facts about the tracks and tells us what animal leaves these tracks. This is a great benefit for all when you walk in the woods and see tracks of animals, and you learned these facts about the tracks from this book.
This is a great book for all to read and especially to read to your children,. I enjoyed myself, reading to my grandchildren this book, and they found it so interesting they did not want to go to bed until we were finish reading the book.!
I recoommend this book for parents to read to their children for a good animal fact story and wonderful photos to also enjoy.

This is a very fun interactive nonfiction about animals for children. It has visual quizzez then the explanations are put on the next page, so the childer can have fun in huessing them. The illustration is so cute and colorful, the color tone is making it prettier too. I love it.

This children’s picture book about many unusual and fascinating animals is spectacular! The illustrations are expressive, brilliantly colored, silly, creative, and fun. The way the book is laid out is very colorful and makes it exciting to learn about the different characteristics of countless unusual animals. The book is categorized by animals and their various characteristics such as: tongues, foods, coats, tails, traces, snouts, droppings, dwellings, eyes, tracks, teeth, and camouflage. The facts are fascinating, and I couldn’t have guessed most of them had my life depended on it. And believe me, I tried to guess which animal went with which tongue, teeth, eyes, and pooh….and I was almost always wrong.

I’m positive that any child would absolutely love this book! It would make a beautiful addition to any home, preschool, or elementary classroom.

I want to thank Authors Anna Gasol and Teresa Blanch, Illustrator Sigrid Martinez, Chouette Publishing, CrackBoom Books, and NetGalley for the opportunity to review this Advanced Reader’s Copy. This is a voluntary review, and all comments and opinions are entirely my own.

Funny and Fascinating Animals! is a colorful and exciting picture book for the youngest readers with lots of interesting facts about wild animals. Released 1st March 2022 by CrackBoom! Books, it's 64 pages and is available in hardcover format.

This is an exuberantly colorful fact-filled book with an engaging format. Double page spreads are written around different features or behaviors for different animals. The chapter headings ask "whose tongue is this?", "whose favorite foods", "whose droppings", "whose tracks", and more. After reading the simple text and looking at the 2 first page illustrations, and guessing which tongue belongs to which animal, readers can turn the page and get explanations with the full picture on the next 2 page spread.

It's a clever outlay and the pictures are fun and energetically appealing. This would make a super library or classroom book as well as for gift giving. This would also be a good book for caregivers to spend time reading and interacting with their young children. There are both well known animals like cats and giraffes as well as more esoteric choices such as tarsiers and pacu.

Five stars. I love nonfiction books for kids and this one is well written and illustrated and information rich.
