Whose Habitat is That?

This is a great nonfiction book for kids. I absolutely loved the guessing game for each animal to keep children engaged. My favorite part is the illustrations- particularly the habitats at the beginning of each section.

3.5*

The content is very interesting and educational, however might not be engaging enough for the younger reader and might be better suited for school aged kids. The design doesn't strike me as something that could withstand curious preschoolers without being damaged and might be too childish for an older child so I'm not really sure who the intended audience is.

Whose Habitat is That is the perfect book for teaching students about making inferences. The story is filled with clues about animals and the students have to guess what animal the clues are referring to. I absolutely love this book and will be making it a part of my classroom library for teaching about inferencing.

Great non fiction childrens book, the cover of this is absolutely gorgeous and colourful- really appeals to the eye and the audience! The pop up style of this book is really fun, keeping children interested and entertained whilst learning at the same time.

This book was super cute and fun to read with my son. He loved hearing the clues. The clues teach so many things about each animal. The illustrations are very well done and the hidden animals are quite a treat. I love how this book is interactive for the children. This book would be a great addition to a science course for younger students.

I loved the soft art style, so much, and I liked the layout as well.

I didn’t always immediately spot the animals—some took a few moments, which I appreciated. Only the Mandrill was a bit too vague for a child: even if you pointed out where the monkey is hiding, it wouldn’t be rewarding to a child because once you do spot the head it’s still not 100% clear what kind of animal it is. Recognizable, but not overt. Even so, the Mandrill scene is still good, and this is a small qualm.

I did wish the book included one or two more animals, but it’s a beautiful, subtly educational book, and I recommend it.

Gorgeous illustrations (can’t wait to see the finished pop up!) paired with facts and clues about each animal. Lovely. Great addition for habitat and animal units and would be a lovely gift for animal lovers in general. #WhoseHabitatisThat #NetGalley

This fun, fact-filled book for children teaches them about unique animals from different continents. Some are endangered and some are well known. I received a digital copy but I'm sure the pop-up board version will be great. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for my copy.

I love this and know the children I will too. I know it will inspire great writing from them too. Well set out and beautiful illustrations.

This is a really lovely book. The illustrations are fab and the information in the text is presented as a series of clues for the reader to guess which animal lives in the habitat described. The challenge of reading the clues to work out the animal will give some less enthusiastic readers a purpose for reading the book.

I love the concept of this books, and I think animal-loving kids will, too! I suspect that I didn't get the full effect of the pop-ups from reading a digital ARC, so I can only comment on the art and text, not the tactile feel of the book. The art is colorful with touches of whimsy, and I suspect it will be even more lovely in book form. The text is lighthearted and full of interesting animal facts that beckon for the reader to turn the page.

I enjoyed the author's use of first-person from each animal's POV but I thought there was a missed opportunity to create a more distinctive voice for each animal. Each animal speaks in the straight-forward voice of the narrator in a nature documentary, but I think there could have been more variety and playfulness in the voice.

(I received a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.)

A beautifully illustrated book packed full of interesting facts about animals and their habitats, After seeing this preview it’s one I can’t wait to get my hands on it in hard copy.

Framed as a series of questions to allow the reader to guess the animals, the answers are revealed through cleverly designed pull-tab pop-ups. Full adult supervision will be required with my two who can barely be trusted with felt flaps but it’s definitely one for them to grow into.

There are a couple of endangered animals and threatened habitats in here and it could be a good book to open up conversations about these issues. I have also learnt a thing or two that might benefit me on quiz night. One to look out for, for sure!

Thanks Quarto and

A fun educational book with vintage style illustrations. 4-7 year olds will enjoy this book and interactive pop outs. I only wish it was longer!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.

This was a super cute kids' book, and provided a lot of interesting facts about the various animals. The art within was beautiful! It was fun to see the pages begin with the clues, then give a lot continue on to reveal the actual animal (even though I would say it's a little hard to imagine on a screen, rather than physically). I would say this is not a book for young children, as the clues may be a bit too much (advanced) for them, unless a greater explanation is given.

I am homeschooling my nearly four year old and the first theme we planned was coincidentally on animal habitats. This book couldn't have come at a better time. We loved reading through the habitat descriptions and figuring out who loved where. In its digital form this has won our hearts and proved to be a very useful educational tool. In its physical form, its going to be a stunner.

Highly recommended

Beautifully illustrated,very informative,a must have.
I like the guessing style of writing.Children will have fun reading this book
