Summary
Fun, snappy poems for different ocean and jungle animals. Ocean includes animals from crabs to barnacles to polar bears. Jungle includes animals from chimps to zebras to gazelles.
Review
Clever, well done rhyming books. The final poem in Oceans didn't quite match the rhythm and charm of the rest of the book. I appreciated the levity the author uses to lighten up the reality of the food chain in the wild.
Ocean: 4 out of 5 stars
Jungle: 5 out of 5 stars
Recommended for: children under 6 as well as some older animal lovers. Would be fun for library/bookstore reading times as well as pre-school classroom reading, too.
Cautions: none

Thanks, Elizabeth! We shared one of Giles' books with some friends and their daughter has really enjoyed it!
