What do the animals see? Their parents or their young, their prey or perhaps us? What are they thinking? This beautifully illustrated story looks at 14 different animals - I love the ones with the babies, especially the baby elephant being cared for by the whole herd. The wolf, the bear and the eagle are all hunting, the gorilla and penguin are caring for babies. I loved the ending page, telling the reader more about each animal. I read a digital copy (supplied by Harper 360 - thank you) so I'm assuming it was not a finished book - some of the text - black on a dark background - was difficult to read, hoping adjustments are made for the actual book.
