Customer Reviews

May be hard to find, but well worth it!

"Animals Showing Off" is a wonderful introduction to the world of animals, especially for preschoolers-lower grade levels. The format is interactive and engaging, with lift the tab features, pull the flaps, and of course, the amazing, vibrant full-color pop-ups of animals, such as a bright red cockatoo, a frilled lizard, colorful frogs, a brilliant peacock, and many more. We were lucky to have found this book at a library book sale, but I would highly recommend it. This is so thoughtfully and beautifully put-together that children will want to read it over and over again!

Don't judge this book by it's cover

The cover of this book somehow looked "dated", but I took a chance my 4 year old nature fan would like it anyway. And does he! The illustrations in this book are bright and detailed, there are a bunch of pop-ups and pull-tabs, some that make animals move in great ways! (The frog hops, the cricket actually chirps, etc.) The variety of animals in such a small book is terrific. This is a good book for your child's library.

A great book for a 4-9 year old

This is the best pop up book I have ever seen. Amazing effects, eye-popping art. I give it over and over as gifts to the under 10 set. The pop-up effects are so complex that they do not stand up well to toddlers pulling them apart, so be may not be great for younger kids.
