And the Winner Is … Amazing Animal Athletes

Written by Etta Kaner, Illustrated by David Anderson

This is a very fun book. Hosted by a walrus and a cockatoo, they take us through varying competitions performed by animals. It’s a fun take on the Olympics. Each page is a different competition i.e. swimming, high jump, etc. and four animals are introduced that will be competing. When you turn the page you find out the “winner” – which animal is the highest jumper or fastest swimmer. It’s really cute and a clever way to give some basic information about animals to kids.
