Illustrates
the spots and stripes of different animals, including tigers, dogs, frogs, and
lemurs.
Reactions/Observations:
The illustrations
easily attract the attention of babies with their bold and playful colors. Each
two page spread features various striped and spotted animals with a flap to
lift to reveal another animal with the opposite pattern. All different kinds
of animals are depicted including tigers, fish, dogs, caterpillars, frogs,
turtles, zebras, bugs, lemurs, and finally the chameleon. The chameleon breaks
the pattern because it's both spotted and striped. Babies and Toddlers will
enjoy the interactive nature of the flaps as well as the simple yet colorful
images. I especially liked the different die cut shapes of the flaps. It gave
the book a peek a boo aspect which children will like. I think children will
enjoy identifying the animals as much as lifting the flaps.
