A lovely book for kids 4yrs+ with graphic novel-type storytelling to learn about 5 different animals (Elephants, Golden Lion Tamarins, Pink Flamingos, Sea Otters, and Red Foxes) and their habitats. Includes a unique and informative fact file after each story.

The illustrations are colourful and fun.

This colourful and informative book will appeal to kids, and adults will enjoy and learn right alongside them!

Thank you to Publisher Spotlight, Post Wave Children's Books, NetGalley, and to the author for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review; all opinions are my own.

Tales of the Wild is a collection of several stories about different types of animals. They include some sort of a struggle that the animal may experience in life and how they can overcome said challenge. The stories are simple enough for younger kids to follow and also include non-fiction facts. The illustrations look hand drawn and my kids really liked the look of them. I would recommend this for younger and elementary aged kiddos.

Thanks to Post Wave Children's Books and NetGalley for an eARC of this book. All opinions are my own.

Charming illustrations and digestible stories make this a fun read for young audiences. The fact files at the end of each chapter help round out the stories with takeaways. Some stories portray humans as the primary saviors, which may feel a little simplistic, but I can see how that framing is an entry point for young readers to start thinking about the impact humans may have.
