Cute book.

This is a darling book. The pictures are just darling. However, it was rated for baby/preschooler. My baby is 11 months, and while this book is gorgeous, my daughter can not match up the pictures. There are words next to the "house" picture, like barn, burrow, cave, etc. But there are none next to the animals. So at first, I was thinking that the squirrel or the bird could live in the tree. But then I realized that the animal matches it house. (The turtle is green/the shell is green; the fish is blue/the water is bird.) Over all, it is a nice book, and I am glad we got it. My four year old enjoyed it a lot more than the baby did. Even my older kids had fun matching up the pictures.

Eric Carle delivers again

My favorite children's author is Eric Carle. I bought this as well as a few other Eric Carle books for my classroom library and my kindergartners love all his books too.

homes don't match up with the animal...it's a 'flip book'

it's my fault - i didn't realize that when i bought it, that it was a 'flip book' - the child has to match the animal with its home... still a good book

Here are two new split-page board books in the popular series from Eric Carle. In the brilliantly colorful My Very First Book of Animal Homes, children can match each animal with the home it lives in. Where do the bees live? Where does the bird live? In My Very First Book of Animal Sounds, children can match each animal with the sound it makes. Which animal barks? Which animal roars? Only you can match them. Full of vibrant animals, these books are loads of fun for young children.
