A non-fiction picture book about symbiotic relationships animals develop in the wild. The child can learn that very different animals (and people?) can gain advantages by cooperating and tolerating each other. From grooming, to safety to health maintenance, many animals are helped by others--some of them one would never put together from wildest imaginings. Like a small bird in the mouth of a crocodile! The artwork is wonderful, but seems a bit subdued--perhaps to assist in the educational v. entertainment presentation of the book?
Merit: Educational, interesting & entertaining.
Share: A bit long for read-aloud unless perhaps over several sessions. Good for beginning readers.
Appeal: Interesting animals such as crocodiles & sharks.
