She's completely fascinated by the whole experience, and we're having a lot of fun learning about all these animals. Jul 25, charlene.

Love this large format with Cooper's lovely watercolor depictions. Sep 14, Andrea Brooks rated it really liked it Shelves: Well, there is more! One fun fact about each animal pictured. Sep 22, American Mensa rated it really liked it. When I got this book by mail and opened up the package to read it, the cover page confused me. I had no idea what that meant!

But once I read the inside flap, I realized that there's a number 8 game included in the book! On each page, there is the letter of the alphabet and a lot of animals whose names start with that letter. Some of the animals drawn are really unusual. It was interesting to learn the names of animals I did not k When I got this book by mail and opened up the package to read it, the cover page confused me. It was interesting to learn the names of animals I did not know of until I read this book, like abalone, uakari and quoll. The names of the animals are on the bottom of each page.

Our job is to discover and identify all the animals on the page. I thought the upupa was a really cute name! Each page also has one animal repeated 8 times and we have to figure out which animal that is - and that's why the cover page has an '8' on it! Sometimes, it is hard to find all the 8 animals on the pages, because some are facing different directions, some are baby animals and some are adult animals.

But, we learn a lot about how animals look too. The drawings are nice, but not very colorful. But I guess that's how animals really look. Not only do we get to find 8 of the same animal on each page, but we also learn a fun fact about each animal. At the back of the book, there is a four-page fun facts index from A to Z, with a picture of each animal and an interesting fact about it. The pictures help us figure out if we guessed all the animals correctly. And the facts are fun. The most fun thing I learned was how different animals keep cool - pigs wallow in mud, seals flip sand on their backs, and the most funny of all, vultures poop and pee on their legs to keep cool!

But, one thing I did not enjoy was flipping back and forth between the letter pages and the fun facts index — that was not easy to do and I often needed a bookmark to do it!

I give this book 4 stars. I thought this book was fun.

See a Problem?

I learned the names of a lot of animals that I did not know before. I really enjoyed getting to know so many interesting facts about animals. But, it is not a simple book and not for everyone. I liked it because I am 6 years old, I love science and love learning new facts. But my brother who is 2 years old, did not enjoy it much. He did not understand many of the drawings, and only liked the letters on each page and the familiar animals.

He did not seem to enjoy it much and found it too long, especially when I wanted to flip to the back of the book to read out the animal facts to him! I also wasn't able to finish the whole book in one sitting. So I don't think this book would be fun for anyone too young. My mom found it interesting, because she learned facts about animals and discovered animals she had not heard of before! So, this book could be read by anyone 6 years old and above! This would be a great book for kids who love animals and love learning new and interesting things about them.

I will be reading this book over and over, because every time I read it, I notice something new on the pages and remember a new animal fact! Review by Dhruv K. Mar 01, Holly added it Shelves: PreK - 1st according to publisher , probably best for K - 1st Alphabet Book 8: An Animal Alphabet , by Elisha Cooper, features animals grouped by the letter of the alphabet their name begins with. Each page represents one letter of the alphabet, and there are anywhere from one to fifteen animals represented per page. Each page also contains one animal whose picture is repeated eight times, while the other animals are represented in imag 8: Each page also contains one animal whose picture is repeated eight times, while the other animals are represented in image once.

The end of the book includes one interesting fact per animal. An Animal Alphabet is that it is just too busy. For a child reading this book alone, that might be a difficult task. Ibex, Ibis, Iguana, Impala, and Inchworm. The animals are scattered across the page, so readers have to guess which animal is which. Generally I think of alphabet books being for children who are just learning the alphabet like 3 or 4-year-olds , but I think this book would be overwhelming for them.

An older child interested in animals may not want to read an alphabet book, though. Aside from the animal alphabet aspect, the book also focuses on the number 8: Some kids might have fun trying to count all eight appearances of an animal. Even that might be difficult, however, as each picture is different. Apr 10, Lorilynn Pumphrey rated it it was ok. This book is about learning the alphabet! I think this is great for kids who are learning the alphabet! It teaches kids all of the animals that start with that letter! Not only will it help practice the alphabet, but it will help practice naming animals as well as help them identify new animals.

Nov 08, Emmaline MacBeath rated it liked it Shelves: On each page animals are illustrated and listed for each letter of the alphabet. For an extra challenge, there are 8 of one of the animals to seek and find. In the back of the book is a short "encyclopedia" listing the animals with a one sentence fact for each one. The illustrations were created with paint. Unfortunately, they did not lend themselves well to the busy layout of this book. The animals are a little bit muddy. The pages are also lacking in color which decreases visual interest. This is a different type of ABC book. It is more of a seek and find and encyclopedia combined.

At the bottom of each page is a list of the animals for that letter and you must seek each animal on the page. Plus, there are 8 of one of the animals to seek and count. Because it is the author's favorite number. This book would be good for grades classrooms and used with an animal unit.

It is an opportunity to learn a large amount of new animal vocabulary. Children who need a challenge or who love animals will enjoy this book. As stated above, the pages are very very busy. For the littlest ones trying to learn their ABCs or for pre-readers, this is very challenging. Many of the animals are not common animals so this is not a quick read-a-loud, but rather a learning opportunity that will take several sittings to get through.

About the Author

I did not know some of the animals and would have to look them up before being able to point them out to a child such as a quoll, uakari, and kakapo. Advertised for ages , but lends itself better if used as an encyclopedia of animals for grades If used for ages , I recommend using it for learning time rather than story time. Sep 19, Heather rated it it was amazing Shelves: This book is a great guide for students who are learning the alphabet.

There are pictures of animals whose names start with each letter of the alphabet, in order.

If I was able to obtain a copy for pairs of Title: If I was able to obtain a copy for pairs of students to share I would have the students find the animal that is found 8 times on each page, which is another purpose of the book.

Today, we read 8: This was a ve This review was originally written for The Baby Bookworm. This was a very cool book with some fantastic animal illustrations, plus some good practice in letters and counting. Going through each and every animal on each page was starting to get a little monotonous for JJ, but this is one of those books that you could do in chunks, then come back to again and again as your baby bookworm grows, as they will likely always find something new.

All in all, we are calling this one Baby Bookworm approved! Be sure to check out The Baby Bookworm for more reviews! Jul 12, Margie added it Shelves: When nothing else makes sense, it's good to go back to the beginning. It's important to focus on the tried and true, on those things which remain the same. In any language, written, spoken or read, each relies on their respective set of letters, their alphabet.

These letters represent the pebble dropped in the pond from which rings spread outward. In our alphabet twenty-six letters form a foundation from which wonder quietly goes forth, silently awaits discovery or excitedly reveals new knowledge When nothing else makes sense, it's good to go back to the beginning.

Johnson asks readers to look more closely at those everyday things outside, around and inside their learning spaces. Feb 01, Michelle Tran rated it liked it. An Animal Alphabet book is a book filled with illustrations with animals starting with their corresponding letter.

The 8 represents one animal that is featured on the page 8 times. This would be a good book for older children in 3rd and 4th grade to introduce them to new animals that they might have never seen. The back of the book features a glossary with images and descriptions of the animals. This is book has eye catching images of animals but many of the animals are illustrated to look ver 8: This is book has eye catching images of animals but many of the animals are illustrated to look very similar. A problem I had with this book was the letters were too small relative to the size of the book.

The sound correlations between the animals and the letters were also not always similar but that is understandable because the book is trying to introduce animals. Overall, I would give this book 3 stars because I felt that the book needed to have bigger pages to fit the illustrations and needed larger texts. Also, I felt exhaused half way through the book and it would take me too long to read the book properly the way the author and illustrator designed it to be.

Oct 01, Linda rated it really liked it Shelves: Wow, hundreds of animals grace these pages, slowly through the alphabet, and as Elisha Cooper says, "Wait, there's more". Each letter page shows numerous animals starting with that letter, but the "8" enters in by Elisha telling the reader to find the "one" animal that is drawn eight times. Sometimes that's easy because some letters have few animals starting with that letter. And other times, one needs to search well, and count. I imagine young children loving to look and count, plus learn about Wow, hundreds of animals grace these pages, slowly through the alphabet, and as Elisha Cooper says, "Wait, there's more".

I imagine young children loving to look and count, plus learn about new animals too. X has only one animal, a small rodent-like animal named "xerus", and Y showed a "yabby". At the end, each animal, alphabetically, has a small picture, its name, and one fact about it. Did you know that when coyotes sneak up on prey, they tiptoe? Or that the shell of that gabby I mentioned, a crustacean, will match the color of the water it grew up in? I enjoyed this book very much. Jul 28, Alison rated it it was amazing.

Sep 30, Samantha rated it really liked it Shelves: A picture dictionary that takes readers from A to Z and challenges them to find the animal that is pictured 8 times on each page.

Animals included range from familiar to exotic. I really appreciated that the watercolor illustrations included 8 examples of a given animal though with distinctive differences, especially in the terms of some specimens being depicted as running, sitting etc; this made the challenge of finding 8 examples of one creature a little more difficult.
