Illustrated by
Steliyana Doneva.
The rabbi author writes a midrash "that 'fills in the gaps' of Torah"--in this case, Genesis. Adam names the animals, including unfamiliar species, in alphabetical order; some are amusingly dissatisfied with their names. At book's end, "lonely" Adam meets Eve, and "off they went, hand in hand." Brown-skinned and black-haired Adam and Eve appear rather cartoonish while the animals are more realistic although not to scale.
