Better Together: A Book of Family by Barbara Joosse, Anneke Lisberg, Jared Andrew Schorr

This book has pages that flip up to show you more of the illustrations done by Jared Andrew Schorr.

Abrams Books sent me a copy of this book to read for review (thank you).  It has been published and you can buy a copy now.

First you see an animal alone and realize the poor thing might be in trouble but when you turn up the flap, you see there is family around it and everyone is safe.  This book emphasizes the fact that you should stay close to your family, not wander off by yourself.

The part I liked best was that they used the names for groups of animals.  Like a lot of crows together is a murder of crows.  I also learned something.  There are several names for each group of animals.  I thought there was only one.  You're never too old to learn something new!
