Editorial Reviews

Review

A striking poster album of animals...The design and appearance are precious and lovely to look at.
—Kirkus Reviews

The fun of “Animals” is in large part the scale of the thing: At a foot-and-a-half long and just over a foot wide, it is a great big jubilant collection of colorful creatures.
—The Wall Street Journal

Kids are sure to obsess over the large, colorful images.
—People StyleWatch

This oversize alphabet book highlights individual critters with vintage-hued pages so gorgeous you may be tempted to tear them out to frame.
—Entertainment Weekly

Beautiful is an understatement!
I love Ingela P Arrhenius’ illustrations and books. They’re creative and original. My baby was very drawn to the pictures, and I’m sure he’ll love it even more as he gets older. It’s a huge size (larger than I expected) but that makes me love it more. I love how you can even have the pages framed for wall art. I’m super pleased with this purchase and would buy again in a heartbeat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fanciful Animal Artwork
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2017

I bought this book after reading the reviews that mentioned the artwork was suitable for framing. I was happy when the book arrived. The animal drawings are PERFECT for framing. Each page contains wonderful colors, imaginative artwork and fabulous lettering. I went through the book with my 3 year old grandsons a number of times and eventually we picked the animals to cut out of the book and frame. Now I enjoy looking at the artwork every time I go into their playroom.

I really like this oversized book, I have been given this book as gifts, beware that since I repeatedly buy this book sometimes the book itself comes torn and damaged. I had to return 2 of the copies because the shipping is terrible.

Beautiful illustrations by Ingela Arrhenius. We love her designs so it was great to have this collection of animals to share with our son. The size of this book adds to the fun as well! Our son loves how big it is, the book really stands out on the shelf and creates a immersive experience when reading.

The pictures are absolutely gorgeous! It's a lovely conversation piece - the book is large and covers a good portion of our coffee table when opened - and everyone loves to leaf through it with their little ones. A good variety of animals, too! I was pleasantly surprised to find a meerkat!

Very large, beautiful book. I love Ingela Arrhenius’ style and this book features lots of large prints. I am tempted to buy another copy and frame some of the beautiful images in here for my daughter’s bedroom (but I don’t think I could bring myself to cut up the book!)

Els dibuixos són molt atractius per als més menuts i com que no te text, dona joc a la creativitat i es poden explicar contes amb els diferents animals.Pot servir també com a recurs docent per les classes d'anglès d'Infantil.
