Publisher's Note
Discover the animals concealed among the pages of this book....
Who wades in the water? Who swings through the trees? Who hides amid the branches? Can you guess which graceful animals slither, slide, swing, and peck? Encouraged by visual and language clues, readers will have fun making their guesses while learning basic verbs and animal behavior. Whether the first glimpse is of a flamingo's leg or a leopard's tail, young readers will enjoy guessing what the animal is--then turning the page to see the whole creature in its natural habitat. Notes provide additional information about each of the ten magnificent creatures featured in the book.

Industry reviews
PreS-Gr 1 A book of hidden-animal guessing games. Each double-page spread provides visual clues to an animal's identity, together with a verb that might be associated with that creature's behavior. For instance, "build" accompanies a partial picture of a beaver, and "slither" accompanies a snake. In design and typography, the verbs cleverly imitate the actions they depict, e.g., the word "slide" is shown sliding down an iceberg. The double-page spread that follows each clue presents the name and a picture of the animal. MacDonald's illustrations are nicely textured collages of tissue paper colored with acrylic paint. They have great visual appeal. However, not all of the picture puzzles are equally successful and they are inconsistent in their level of difficulty. Some of the animals, like the elephants identified by their trunks, can be readily guessed by young children. Others, like the flamingo identified only by its long stiltlike legs will be more difficult. Also, not all of the verbs provide additional clues. Certainly children will quickly associate "peck" with woodpecker, but many may not associate "climb" with walrus. Since the pleasure in a picture-puzzle book for the very young is in the excitement of prediction and recognition, this is unfortunate. Still, this title will be appreciated for its engaging art and inventive format and will find an audience where there is demand for interactive materials.

About B-Logistics

B-Logistics began selling online in 2001 in partnership with several major public library systems that needed help managing large volumes of discarded materials. We chose the seller name Universal Athenaeum (depository of books and other materials for learning) to reflect that partnership, and we’re still proud to offer our services to hundreds of public, academic, school and special libraries all over the US and Canada (as well as a few publishers, retailers and wholesalers). By providing turnkey resale and recycling services of discarded books and media, we help libraries manage a difficult logistical challenge, generate positive PR, and earn funds for resources and programming.

Quality Standards

The books, CDs and DVDs we list for sale come from many sources, including public, academic and school libraries. We evaluate each item we list, and we strive to sell only items that are in GOOD or better condition, items that we would be happy to receive ourselves. You will notice in many cases that the library’s original ownership markings and other stamps, stickers and such are still in place. If you receive an item that is not in the stated condition, please notify us within 14 days of receiving the shipment so we can work out an acceptable resolution.

Great Service to Our Customers

We work hard to earn your confidence, and we want you to be 100% satisfied. When you order from B-Logistics, you’ll get your order fast. Most orders leave our warehouse the same day, and all orders leave our warehouse within two business days.

We provide turnkey service to our library and other liquidation partners so they have more time to provide much-needed resources to their patrons. We donate tens of thousands of books each year to non-profit literacy partners who bring books to needy recipients worldwide. In addition, we recycle hundreds of tons of unsalable books each year, providing an environmentally-friendly alternative to dumping books in landfills.
