The book has strong board pages made especially for young children. The chunky tabs, on the top or the side, are easy to grab to help with early motor control. Preschoolers will quickly recognize the picture on the tab, which will take them straight to the page with their favorite animal.  

Each page is dedicated to different types of animals, like farm animals and sea animals. There are easy-to-read labels so your little one can sound out the words with you.
