A charming book for all ages to enjoy. The delightful, alphabetically rhymed animal verses, with wonderful illustrations, include the timeless message of the interconnection of all life--that being kind to each other, animals and the Earth will make the world the "greatest home for every generation." It's also clear, from the words around the cover picture, that the book is intended not just for children but for the "grown-ups" and those "in-between" who will be reading it to them. The two animal pieces, about the world's largest and one of the smallest, and their significance in Earth's vital, glorious "Web of Life," contribute fascinating facts about these animals which can be shared with children.
