Synopsis

Compare and contrast different animals through predictable, rhyming analogies. Find the similarities between even the most incompatible animals . . . bat is to flit as eagle is to soar; dog is to bark as lion is to roar. Comparisons include sounds, physical adaptations, behaviors, and animal classes and are so fun, readers learn without even realizing it! Animalogy is to fun, as animals are to nature.

It's so much more than a picture book . . . this book is specifically designed to be both a fun-to read story and a launch pad for discussions and learning. Whether read at home or in a classroom, we encourage adults to do the activities with the young children in their lives. Free online resources and support at SylvanDellPublishing.com include:

Review:

This book makes learning about analogies, new vocabulary, and animals easy to understand and fun. - School Library Journal

Morrison's artwork is detailed and realistic, especially when it comes to the smaller species, each feather, fin and hair standing out in relief. It fills a niche that is otherwise almost empty. - Kirkus

Whether illustrating verbs or nouns, the crisp language features accurate syntax, and rhymes on the alternate pages work well. Vivid illustrations of animals in natural settings are eye-catching. - Horn Book Guide
