Large picture board book, very bold and colourful and a welcome addition to our growing collection of children's books. The Amazon discount was very welcome as I probably wouldn't have paid full price for it, having seen it. The 100 animals were not the 100 most obvious 'basic' animals I was hoping for and some of the pictures chosen for the animals were a bit random. To give one example, I would have preferred to just have a duck and a goose - the decision to include a gosling has forced me to be a bit economical with the truth to avoid confusing my daughter (18 months) who is just about grasping the difference between ducks and geese, but is not ready for the complication of their offspring not looking like them just yet.
