Animals Everywhere by Ingri and Edgar Parin D'Aulaire

Animals Everywhere, which introduces to very small children the animals from the tropics to the arctic regions, was made for the d'Aulaires' own little son. The animals are pictured in their native settings with the same richness of color and delightful understanding of the children's world that have distinguished the d'Aulaires' other books. Little boys and girls will be enchanted by the running commentary on the animals' activities and will join right in with such enthralling sounds as "The seal barks. The Owl hoots, The Narwhale swishes."

This is a book which is practically sure to become a prime bedtime favorite, for it combines all the fascination of a zoo with the eternal lure of faraway places.

It is the first picture book for the nursery age by Ingri and Edgar Parin d'Aulaire, distinguished creators of Abraham Lincoln, awarded the Caldecott Medal for 1939, and of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Buffalo Bill, and other established favorites for the picture-story-book age.
