Editorial Reviews

PreS-Gr 4—Use this rhyming book about animals with students to explain the concept of analogies. "Robin is to wing, as goldfish is to fin. Beaver is to build, as spider is to spin." Body parts, size, sounds, actions, and animal classification are all included in the examples. Detailed and realistic illustrations give moose, bears, and frogs a ready-to-jump-off-the-page appearance. The lion and dog look ferocious, but fit the pairing of "Dog is to bark, as lion is to roar." The final image shows a man reading Animalogy to children around a campfire with several animals from earlier pages in the background. Extensive activities are provided at the end of the book and online. The online activities feature cross-curricular lessons, learning games, and projects. This book makes learning about analogies, new vocabulary, and animals easy to understand and fun.—Nancy Baumann, University of Missouri-Columbia
