    A brilliant concept book for learning about the wondrous things that can happen in just one animal's lifetime, visualizing large and small numbers, and the concept of averages.

    I thought this book was cute and informational! I believe it was sort of an informational text in regard to the fact about many different types of wildlife. The language was cute and included a few puns! These will definitely interest readers! For example, the page that states, "In one lifetime, the female red kangaroo will birth 50 joeys.. So many hoppy birthdays!" I thought this was adorable. I also liked how the story was told and the pace at which it was told. The writing was informative and engaging and told me some facts that I had prior knowledge of and some that I didn't even think about before! I enjoyed how there was a little bit of math involved throughout the text, and it pretty much made the text what it was. The reason I did not give the text 5 stars is because there is not much of an idea or message that I was able to take away from the book. There is also not much of a plot. If I'm really stretching for a main idea, it could be that all different types of wildlife have different ways of living, and these ways they live are not similar to the way humans live.

    This was a very interesting way of looking at animals and looking at numbers. And some of the numbers are amazing large and eye opening. I can think of lots of kids who will love this book, and read it over and over again.#Wintergames #teamreadnosereindeer +16
