Customer Reviews

Very pleased!

Love the book. The pictures are like seeing the animals in real life. Visitors love to look at when they come over to see us.

neat little picture book

I got this for my 2 year old niece's birthday. The pictures are artist but entertaining. With 300+ pictures with the only writing in it is the names for the animals and the location the pic was taken. I didn't plan on it but the book is a great size for a little person. The usual coffee table books are so large they are hard for toddlers to handle but this is closer to a paper back book. It is somewhat larger but still very managible for a youngster. The pictures are large 1 per page.

Small but great content

The book itself is small but the pictures inside are amazing. It is well worth the couple bucks I paid for it. Everyone at home and the office loved it! The pictures are all colorful and vivid. I can't imagine what camera he has because they are so nit.

A wonderful collection of photography!

This is an outstanding collection of photographs that has everyone in my family smiling and has earned a permanent spot on our coffee table. It keeps both adults and children laughing and was excellent for quizzing my little nephew who is learning to name all his animals. The title for the book is perfect, as the collection of photographs is predominately of one animal with a highly expressive look captured on its face and many have a very humanlike quality. Most photos prompt the question, "what was he thinking??" Those animals that naturally have less humanlike expressions are captured in extremely impressive photographs. The book may have small dimensions, but it is pretty thick and each picture takes up a full page. The layout is also fun, with pictures that seem to go together positioned opposite each other. I was surprised that this was such a high quality printing, thick paper, great color, wonderful photographs. It may be good for the whole family, but it is a true high quality book of art. I love it!
