From School Library Journal:
PreS–This companion to Van Fleet's Tails (S & S, 2003) encourages interaction from cover to end page. Children begin the safari that celebrates the traits of diverse animals by pulling a tab that allows a giraffe, elephant, rhino, tiger, and alligator to assemble jumbled letters to create the title. On each busy page, more tabs open a platypus egg, enlarge a frog's throat, and wiggle an elephant's ears. Watercolor cartoon critters rock the pages with greedy grins, loving licks, and astonished yelps. The grand finale has a flip up showing every character enjoying a spout ride, thanks to a cheery whale. The animals, from fly to flamingo, are each named–great for vocabulary enrichment. This fun board book is designed to entertain toddlers time and again, but may not survive long in a circulating collection, so get a second copy for storytimes.–Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA.
