ISBN 0866115471 - Pop-up books are cool, educational books are good, this one has both. Kids won't realize they're learning, they'll just think they’re enjoying a cool book - and if it works, why tell them?

10 pages of rhyming text shows, and tells, where a variety of animals live, not always too specifically. Polar bears "around the ice", squirrels "in the tops of trees".

There is no specified illustrator or author on the book. The illustrations, reaching from edge to edge on every page, are colorful and fun: a monkey shooting a basketball at a hoop and forest animals roasting hot dogs over a campfire, among so many other charming details. The pop-ups are a thin cardboard and some care is required to close the book properly or risk trapping the pop-ups wrong, and they'll stop popping up.
