Wild! Playtime by Courtney Dicmas

Wild!  Playtime
Courtney Dicmas
Illustrated by Courtney Dicmas

            This book lends itself to a lot of interactive play between child and reader of the book.  After reading the book or during the reading a child may want to experiment with the actions of the baby animals portrayed in this book.  Baby animals are present playing in movements that the real animal would do.  Puppies wag tails and wiggle.  Otters swim and play in the water.  Cranes duck their heads and wave their feathers.  Fox kits leap and pounce.  Kangaroo joeys leap, jump and bounce.  Lion cubs crawl and chew on dear old dad.  Each illustration is draw with happy, smiling creatures and demonstrates them having fun with their parents.  This book entertains while giving a realistic look at how baby animals play and interact with each other and their parents.  Each page has a different color background.  The animals are in soft muted shades with splashes of color in the plants or other objects in the picture.

I received this book free from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
