I had this book when I was younger so I bought it again so my younger sisters could read it they really enjoyed it as a bedtime story

A book that will be popular for your 2 year old up until your 10 year old! Warning: they will ask for you to read it every single night for years and years to come

Bought as a gift.

Inspirational! A lovely book that engages with kids’ growing awareness of the diversity of life on earth, the distinctiveness of each creature, and the collective contribution we make to the balance of life and nature. Delightful illustrations follow Loulou’s longing first to become an animal, and then to capture her realisation that she’s already part of the animal family - and that human animals are responsible for protecting and supporting the planet we share with the rest of the animal kingdom. The ‘change’ human animals need to make is to respect our shared earth and all the lives that depend on it. It’s only a little book, but it has loads of potential to stimulate surprising and enlightening discussions, even with very with young readers. . My grandsons loved the idea of inhabiting the skin of other animals, and the story offers great opportunities for interaction and role playing. Using the activity pages at the back of the book, we explored the animals they wanted to be and why, where they lived and who looked after them – leading to some pretty lurid speculation about creatures who are farmed or hunted by human animals! They wanted to know who would look after animals left homeless by the destruction of seas and forests, and told me what they’ve learnt about climate change in school, and especially our personal and collective responsibilities to protect and preserve the resources we all depend on. An unexpectedly rewarding book, and good fun, too.

I purchased this for my three-year-old to help generate some imaginative conversations, and was not disappointed! She loves to look at and talk about the various pictures, and to express her preferences and ask about the preferences of others. Also, I suspect this book will be interesting for a long time to come, as many of the pictures are things she will understand better as she grows and expands her knowledge base.

My 3 yr old loves this book! She asks for it all the time and we have conversations about the pictures in the book. It’s really colourful

Beautiful illustrations. My 4 year old loves it. She took it to school to share it with her class and she is very happy. She's been reading it more than once per day and finds different ways of making up games with it.

英語教室をしていますが、たくさんの絵があって色々と想像を膨らませながら、インタラクティブに子どもたちと会話できるので気にいってます。
