Bold and Bright Black and White Animals By Dorothy Hinshaw Patent

This book includes facts and information about black and white animals. This book not only provides factual information but it also sends the message to children that great animals do not need to be giant creatures or very colorful creatures. This book sends the message that animals come in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors. I also loved the illustrations included in this book. Theses illustrations take up the whole page, have amazing shading and many details. This book includes facts about skunks, penguins, zebras, pandas, whales, cows, snakes, lemurs, butterflies and more. Another aspect of this book that I like is that the author asks the readers questions about the information they are reading. This actively engages the reader and also exercises the reader’s cognitive thought process. Lastly, I like that the author included an index of the animals talked discussed in the back of the book. I believe that this book sends the message that no matter if thing is black or white, small or big, colorful or not, that we are all individuals.
