It is a nice, short story, that isn’t too wordy so will hold their attention easily. This book can be enjoyed by even our youngest little people. This allows for teaching moments to happen to support the children’s development.

It allows the reader to point and name the animals first, and then offers the opportunity to let the children guess which animal lives in the illustrated habitat before revealing which animal is under the flap. At the beginning of the story it displays each animal to begin with, which I like. The story text has a repeated refrain that flows continuously through the story as it introduces each endangered species. They can be easily identified as which animal they are supposed to be, and children, even as young as babies, will enjoy looking through the pages and lifting the flaps to see which animal is hidden underneath. They are clear and stand out against the white background of the page. The illustrations in the book have the same, familiar feel from what I know from Rods previous books. Having read one of the authors previous lift-the-flap books, Dear Zoo, I was eager to see what this new book would be like, particularly how it is touching on the subject of endangered animals. You can Find this Review and all my Other Reviews on My Blog :. Thank you to Macmillan Children's Books and Netgalley for this copy which I reviewed honestly and voluntarily. I love this sweet picture book, it's a very important introduction into teaching children a little about animals and wildlife conservation and would make a Beautiful Gift.

There is so much more that can be done with this book, for example after reading it you can talk more about the Animals, find little ways to help animals, talk about the environment, but in a fun and interactive way. It's repetitive text and eye catching illustrations is perfect for children aged 2-5years.Ĭhildren can lift the interactive flaps to reveal animals that need our help looking after, for example, Tiger, Orangutan, Whale, Lion.

If you have ever read the Dear Zoo books then you will adore this simple yet effective picture book. Look After Us is a really sweet and interactive children's book that gives very young children a glimpse into saving animals that are at risk. 4☆ A Fun, Interactive, Educational and Inspiring, Children's Picture Book.
