This is a delightful text & picture book about a trip to the New Orleans Aquarium. The format is unusual and will delight young children.All the text is peppered with little images, within the text, that illustrate individual words. For instance, if the text says that Anna and her friend Susan had a snack of muffins, bananas, and apples, the word muffins is followed with a picture of a muffin, the word banana is followed with a picture of a banana and the word apple is followed with a picture of an apple. In addition to things, actions, such as whispering, or giggling, are also illustrated.The aquarium, and the colorful exhibits of birds, the Amazon rainforest, frogs, snakes, and a Caribbean reef, are richly represented by many beautiful photographs. This book is a wonderful introduction for young children, to the beauty and variety of the animal world.
