PS
Various nonhuman animal families are compared to each other in rhyming text and simple illustrations in muted colors. Fast cheetahs are contrasted with slow sloths, and messy mud-wallowing hippos are distinguished from neat, grooming monkeys. The final double-page spread includes an embedded mirror and encourages readers to reflect on “your own special family.” A lovely introduction to familial bonds in the animal kingdom as well as the concept of opposites.
