One Night, Far From Here

 By Julia Wauters

This book has a lot of information in it that is way over a toddler's head, so it's not a good read for someone under the age of 3.

We look through it and I read bits and pieces.  I usually have to skip a lot of it, because my daughter just wants to find the animals and can't be bothered with learning the common name for each species.

The reason she likes the book, other than the fact that it's a big book full of animals, is that the book presents a series of ecosystems made up of layers of clear acetate pages painted with vegetation, so that you have to peel off the layers of the forest, or jungle, or ocean to find hidden creatures.

This is a unique picture book that will be a great story book when she's older.



I would have posted more and better pictures, but there are so many good ones on the publisher's website:  Flying Eye books
