Animal Antics series.
Illustrated by
Anni Axworthy.
Very brief texts list nine animals, culminating with children, that dig and burrow, hang and dangle, leap and jump, or swim and dive. In each book, the titular refrain finishes each sentence. This repetition gets somewhat irritating, and some sentences feel forced to fit the structure. But the bold, colorful cartoon illustrations with heavy black outlines are just right for the audience. [Review covers these Animal Antics titles: Let's Dig and Burrow, Let's Hang and Dangle, Let's Leap and Jump, Let's Swim and Dive.]

Peep-Hole series.
Illustrated by
Anni Axworthy.
Guess What I Am gives examples of animal families (a shark is a kind of fish and a tiger is related to a house cat); Guess What I'll Be is about animal metamorphosis. Both books ask readers to interact with the subject matter by asking questions; clues to the answers are revealed with pieces of art that show through die-cut holes. The bold art gives silly human expressions to the animals in the mildly informative books.
