The book has a lion on the cover and one of the 30 animals featured is a lion, so that made may daughter especially happy since lions are her favorite animals. She enjoyed the other animals too. After we finished reading the other night, I went into the other room and I heard her yell, Mommy, come and look at the naked rat. She was referring to the last animal in the book, the naked mole rat.Even if your child knows how to read, or is learning to read, you can both benefit from reading together.
