With this touch-and-feel book, even the youngest children begin to share Eric Carle's love for animals. Exciting animals are introduced, and colorful sea creatures help children learn the basic colors in a playful way. Crawling creatures are waiting to be counted, and there are many sounds to mimic on the farm. When the animals are shown in action, children are encouraged to try and see if they can do the same. Thoughtfully placed tactile elements make this journey through the animal world a playful experience.
