Other reviews:
"The author uses simple sentences, yet slips in vocabulary-building words such as "preen" and "spongelike," and she makes common comparisons between animals such as a lioness licking her fur just as a house cat would do. She also offers brief bits of information to stretch youngsters' knowledge, such as descriptions of oxpeckers that travel on the bodies of giraffes and peck away ticks and "cleaner" shrimp that act as animal dentists. The final two pages suggest ideas for observing bathing animals and making a simple birdbath or wildlife pool. useful for the attractive Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA---from School Library Journal
