Review Detail

ODD BEASTS is a delightful board book that features some unique animals. The book shows each animal in illustrations along with a sentence with what makes them unique, such as "This pangolin wears armor." The book concludes by suggesting that these animals might think the weirdest animal is you! The coolest part is the backmatter, which includes photographs of each animal along with brief descriptions in the form of a question and answer.

What I loved: This is a fun picture book read for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, who are getting into animals. The book can be read quickly as the brief sentences along with illustrated images for the youngest readers or explored more in depth with the backmatter for toddlers/preschoolers. The photos and more detailed text add a lot of educational value to this fun book in a speed that is great for the youngest learners. The vivid colors and simple text of the book appeals to young readers and large, easy to read font makes this a fun one for caregivers too.

Final verdict: An educational read that is great for infants through preschoolers, ODD BEASTS is a great introduction to animal diversity in a fun board book read.
