Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Deadly Animals / Animales Mortales
Xist Publishing · 2017
72/100
👍 Worth It
A clean, well-executed bilingual photo book that gives toddlers their first look at the animal kingdom's most formidable creatures while picking up English and Spanish vocabulary at the same time. It is essentially a labeled photo collection rather than a story, so older children will outgrow it fast — but for babies through early-elementary kids in bilingual homes, it earns its shelf space.
