Wonderful book for young children just learning to identify animals

We got this book out of the library for my animal-crazy toddler daughter (common refrain = "More animal book!!!"). I really like the fact that there are only one or two animals per page, and - more importantly - that fairly similar animals are often in the same spread. For instance, the fox is next to the wolf; both look fairly similar to the inexperienced child, but the fox is red and slightly smaller than its larger grey cousin. Please note that there is extremely little text outside of Crinkleroot's introduction. Most pages just have a detailed illustration and the associated name of the labeled critter. This layout is perfect for my kid right now. However, if you have an older child, you may want something with wordier descriptions.
