The most spectacular images since "Wild Things"

Faulkenberry's true gift is making the woodcut images come alive on the page. Her portrayals of the sky are van Gogh-esque, with sweeping motion. The animals and their activities are alive on the page: dancing, swimming, boating, and biking--buy this book, you won't be disappointed.

Fun and fascinating facts are tucked away

What Do Animals Do On The Weekend?: Adventures From A To Z is a delightful color ABC book for preschool and kindergarten readers written and illustrated by Lauren Faulkenberry. Each letter of the alphabet features an associated animal doing something whimsical with plenty of alliteration, such as "Kangaroos get their kicks when they kayak in Kenya. Kevin keeps paddling across the lake while Kyra plays her kazoo." Fun and fascinating facts are tucked away at the bottom of the page of each entry, such as "A kayak is the same kind of boat that Eskimos first built to hunt whales thousands of years ago. Kenya is a country in Eastern Africa."What Do Animals Do On The Weekend? is a highly enjoyable and enthusiastically recommended alternative alphabet book.
