Adam’s Favorite Things by Ashley Hohmann offers kids the chance to learn all about the world of herpetology—reptiles and amphibians to you and me—and all things insects. Each page is one letter of the alphabet, detailing a creature with facts about it, and followed by a cute illustration, so kids can see what they look like. Youngsters will learn about lots of different and unusual creatures—some I’d never heard of before, too. The illustrations are bright and colorful, and readers will understand what each creature needs to survive and thrive in the natural world. Books like this are not just fun to read but wholly educational, too, and they should have a place in every child’s library and in schools. Teaching kids about these creatures goes a long way toward teaching respect for them and their habitat. It’s hoped that they’ll learn enough to help protect animals in the future; after all, young readers hold the future of the world in their hands. Highly recommended reading for all youngsters and their teachers, and caregivers.
