Age range 6 to 9Book with special format - fun layout where at first, only a part of the animal' s body is revealed on the page, so kids have the opportunity to guess which animal that tail, fur, or fin belongs to. Then all they need to do is open up the page and the animal appears in all its glory. From the series Can You Guess Who I Am - there are 2 books. Both introduce various evolutionary adaptations, which have helped the animals to adapt to their environment or way of life.

Rating: 1-5 (5 is an excellent or a Starredreview):5Format: Board book What did you like about the book? Each page starts with a question - Whose eye is that? Which animal has suchshaggy fur? - followed by a hint or fun fact. The page has a peek-throughcircle that reveals just enough of the animal beneath for children to make aguess. The cut-out page folds outward, revealing a three-page spread thatoffers more information about the animal and the adaptation in question (sight,skin types, leg formation, etc. ) The illustrations are fun and colorfulbut not too cartoon-ish. The animals are drawn with personality but arestill identifiable as specific wild animals. Children will enjoycomparing adaptations across several animal types and learning about how ananimal' s body type affects the way they live, eat, and move. Some readersmay want to look up each animal and see more of the habitat to which they areso well adapted. Anything you didn' t like about it? NoTo whom would you recommend this book?
