"Vibrant, textured illustrations of anthropomorphized animals in cozy landscapes... All of the stories resolve in a peaceful solution for the characters and a goodnight ending for the child."—Kirkus Reviews
Bedtime stories for the youngest children with richly textured illustrations and a delightful die-cut character image index.
Zebra needs a new house. Where should he build it? On a hill? Next to the ocean? In the desert? His solution is just right to solve his dilemma. Freckly Speckly Hen tries laying her eggs all over the farm until she finds the perfect place. Farmer Bear is rushing to market when his truck gets stuck in the mud. When all the animals rush to help, he learns a valuable lesson in friendship.
Animal Stories for the Very Young includes four wordless stories that have so much happening in them that each one is a story in itself: at the park, in the hospital, in the street, and in the harbor.
Atsuko Morozumi is the illustrator of One Gorilla, an American Bookseller’s Association Pick of the List and a New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Book.
