Review # 1 was written on 2020-07-29 00:00:00 Rhys Brigham Audrey Wood has done some great stories. She is so good at taking something simple and turning into an energetic interesting little story. She's able to take that child-like wonder of the simple things being amazing and that is the story. This is one line per picture about how complex we are as people. We can be small as an ant or strong as an Ox or mean as a shark or nice as a bunny. She goes into all the feelings we can have as people and how all those feelings make up the person we are. It's so well done. It's simple, for beginners and has a great big message. From Open Library.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-02-16 00:00:00 Anastasia Nikologianni This book has the most fabulous illustrations that depict the adjectives described in the book. This book is all similes that are comparing adjectives to animals. This book can be read a very expressive way that helps to describe the adjectives even more. I just can't get over the illustrations, they are so descriptive and colorful, and they can be found on the author's website. Learning Experience- I would use these printable illustrations and glue them onto a Popsicle stick. I would hand them out to children in the class right before I read the book and as went through the pages of the book I would the child with that prop stand up and depict with their voice and body the adjective.
