Sometimes Families...

(2) 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.
