Puffin has SHORT legs.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeveloped in partnership with Ranger Rick and the National Wildlife Federation, this photo-illustrated gem teaches the youngest of children about opposites using examples from the animal kingdom. Vibrant photos paired with sparse, lyrical text introduce the concepts in an easy-to-grasp form for youngsters just beginning to meet the printed page. Representing all seven continents and creatures from a variety of habitats, this board book is a comprehensive introduction to some of childhood's best-loved beasts: penguins and lions and otters, oh my!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFamilies who love nature and the world’s wild places will enjoy sharing these animal opposites.Excellent nature photography, even in this small (6 inches square)  board-book format, will intrigue young animal lovers. Most of the photos  are of species young children will recognize (lions, a cheetah, a bear,  a leopard), but some are less-typical subjects: an egret, a crab, a red  fox. Each is paired with another creature that demonstrates an opposite  feature-but does not necessarily share a habitat. So \"Bison lives where  it is COLD\" is juxtaposed with \"Lizard lives where it is HOT.\" The key  word is printed in uppercase type and in a bold, contrasting color. Each  animal gets just the one line, providing a fact but possibly leaving  inquisitive preschoolers puzzled and their parents or teachers  struggling to fill in more information. For example, the last two pages  feature a cougar and a burrowing owl, both awake. The final page shows a  koala, sound asleep. But nowhere do readers learn that all three are  nocturnal, nor is it clear whether the photos were taken during the day  or night. \u003ci\u003eMy First Book of Animal Hugs and Kisses\u003c\/i\u003e, published  simultaneously, has some of the same issues, plus the problem of  attributing human emotions to animal behaviors. Still, the high-quality  nature photography is a refreshing change from smiling cartoon critters.
