Reach for this book when your child is starting to notice and celebrate the strange, wonderful differences that make every living thing unique. It is a perfect choice for the little explorer who is transitioning from simple picture books to more detailed factual learning, or for a quiet bedtime that aims to inspire a sense of wonder about the natural world.
