The fun cutouts and holes in these pages will definitely engage young readers. The sturdy board will stand up to tugging and chewing, and the cute illustrated animals can be admired over and over. Young ones will need a reader for help with the information – the words, especially the names, are well beyond the reach of kids up to 3rd grade. But don’t le that deter you from sharing.
