Here We Are: Book of Animals

This is a nice addition. Using the alphabet and the images from the original (animal pages) of the book. My daughter loves anything Oliver Jeffers and enjoys this because when we’d read here we are we could stay on those two pages for ages pointing out different animals.

Just a simple alphabet book. Wish there was a little detail about the animals. His other books always have cute extra notes or details

Love his other books. This one was disappointing

This is great, fun alphabet book that includes some different animals that you don’t typically see. Sure, there are familiar animals but D for Dodo, H for Hedgehog, V for Vampire Bat, X for Xerus, what is a Xerus? He looks like a squirrel to me. Actually, a Xerus is an African ground squirrel, that has spiky fur, short ears and long tails that live in Africa. That’s what I like about Oliver Jeffers, he makes me think, he opens up my eyes to see the world in another light.You have to love the way this book feels in your hands, the thick and glossy pages will hold up to a lot of readings and the size of this book is perfect for lying down flat or for reading with someone. I like the simplicity of each page as each letter gets its own page in this book. The letter is highlighted in a hold color, the animal is drawn on the page, and then, the animal’s name is written at the bottom of the page. Sometimes a comment from the animal is included on the page otherwise, nothing extra is included on the page. There is no busy colors or no busy activity, the child can focus on the letter, the spelling of the animal’s name and the illustration. Let’s keep it simple: repetition, and recognition. The best way to help a child learn. I think this is a great ABC book for infants to any age who need to be exposed to their ABC’s. 5 stars

Es muy lindo y perfecto para que los niños pequeños se interesen en los libros.

I have purchased this book multiple times for baby showers. I love all the Oliver Jeffers books!

Material perfecte perquè no es faci malbé. Cada pàgina conté una lletra en màjuscula perquè els nens la puguin resseguir i apendre la seva forma. Hi ha també un dibuix d’un animal per pàgina que serveix per apendre vocabulari en anglés.

El libro solo tiene tarjetas de animales, según la inicial del abecedario. Creo que en la descripción hubieran especificado algo relacionado. Lo compré para las lecturas en inglés de mi hija y nos decepcionó mucho. Esas tarjetas se encuentran hasta en memorama gratis en línea.

Son ilustraciones recopiladas de otros de sus publicaciones , así que prácticamente no añade nada nuevo , si tienes algunos de sus libros . Eso si de precio está muy bien .
