FROM THE CRITICS
Publishers Weekly
Contrary to the title, the paper-over-board A Little Golden Book Collection: Animal Tales is quite a meaty package, containing a baker's dozen classics, such as "The Kitten Who Thought He Was a Mouse," "Home for a Bunny" and "Tawny Scrawny Lion." The tales appear with their original illustrations and feature gold-leaf trim along the pages' edges. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
Children's Literature - Debbie Bohn
This book is a collection of classic animal tales from the "Little Golden Books" series. These entertaining tales will help children associate the names of animals with what they look like. Children will laugh at the silly stories and bright simple pictures. There is a story about an elephant who thinks he has too many wrinkles and is too big, so he tries to lose his wrinkles. In the end, he finds other elephants and learns that he is just as an elephant should be. Children will read myths about how leopards got their spots, and another story tells how camels got their humps and how their humps help them survive in the desert. The stories are whimsical and fun. Some of them have morals and others are simply entertaining. Children will enjoy pointing out the different types of animals from the domestic to the exotic. 2004, Golden Books, Ages 2 to 5.
