Check out these reviews from Aria Nevin of Youth Services Book Review!

"Opening these books for the first time is a delightfully surprising experience: the spine is located across the top left corner, and the pages immediately expand to a much larger scale. It doesn’t feel especially gimmicky, however, and the pages seem sturdy enough to actually stand up to some excited reading.  The vividly colored illustrations are somewhat cartoonish, nicely engaging and friendly, featuring animals and people of varied skin tones. The overall experience feels like a pleasant blend of Where’s Waldo and a board book; with plenty of detail to pore over, this is an enjoyable way to develop concentration and the ability to notice details. 

For Alphabet, each spread contains two letters of the alphabet, each accompanied by a list of items beginning with that letter to find on the page, as well as additional visual items in the artwork but not listed. Children can engage at various levels, enjoying the pictures or the visual details, or tracking the alphabetic content and reading the words for each letter. A reader oriented toward completion might find great satisfaction in locating every word listed for every letter on every page, or enjoy discovering the presence of the unlisted items. 

For Animals, each page features a single habitat, with a list of ten animals both common and unusual. Readers may enjoy learning about new species such as the pangolin or ocelot, discovering that they live in deserts with the more familiar camels and bats. The numbers are keyed specifically to the animals listed, so the desert page features a single pangolin, two armadillos, three camels, four bats, and so on up to ten geckos. But wait! There are also five pangolins to be found among the bilbies and jerboas on the Burrow page, an example of the rewards for observant readers. While necessarily incomplete, there’s a nice variety of species and habitats represented."
