      I loved these kinds of books when I was little because they taught me about the amazing animals that we share this world with.

      I would love to win this giveaway because I like animals and watercolor painting. This book sounds like it would be really nice and relaxing to read. From the description, it sounds like the watercolor artwork is exceptionally well done. Kids love animals, so a book about animals with the rhyming text should be a hit.

      Books about animals teaches the little ones about animals habitats and info they wouldn’t know. Having one grandson who wants to be a veterinarian (at this time) it would make for great reading.

      I think kids love animals because they love to help take care of others and many animals love them back in return for that care. They also love to play with them!

      My grandchildren love animal stories. It could have something to do with the pets we own or the visits to zoos which makes them love animal stories.

      My 3 yr old daughter has Autism and has an obsession with eggs and especially eggs hatching. She has watched every video on youtube with hatching eggs and has toys that involve hatching. Her birthday is in a few weeks and she would love this book immensely.

      This looks so fun! I’d love to gift it to my little nephew…though I’m sure my chapter book reading 7-year-old still wouldn’t be able to resist reading it first 🙂
