Book Source: We would like to thank EarlyLight Books for providing a copy of this book for review.

The first thing you will notice about this book is how absolutely stunning the photographs are. Each illustrates vividly the bold and beautiful color of animals from around the world. From the yellow tree frog, to the green iguana to the orange Bearded Dragon to the rainbow of colors represented on a Red-Eye Tree Frog, you will be amazed at the gorgeousness of our animal kingdom. The book could stop with just the photos and be amazing, but it offers even more! Each photo is accompanied by a short paragraph detailing some aspect of the animal’s diet, behavior, and/or where that particular animal can be found. We also learn all the ways in which color can benefit our animal friends. The publisher’s homepage states that their books will excite, challenge and expand minds. This book certainly will!
