Review Detail

Although I think this book suffers from the lack of a good cover, what is inside is definitely worth reading and exploring with your children--especially in the summertime, when everything is hot and stifling!

It was so interesting to learn about the ways different animals--several I had not even heard of--cool off in the heat. The paintings are extremely well-done and beautiful, and the descriptions are simple and concise. I enjoyed how animals in different ecosystems were included, and introduced by their habitat. The book connects us to the animal world by beginning and ending with how humans cool off, and I think is a great segue into learning about other creatures methods of doing the same.
