How many of you make funny noises at your kids just to see that quizzical reaction from them? You know you do, don’t ya? In a store you look at them and make a funny noise to get them to laugh or even just cause you want to make a funny noise and have an excuse? Well, for once you will have a good excuse for making funny noises at your kids. Curious Critters is a new book by David FitzSimmons. This book has some of the most incredible looking animals around in such large format and sharply defined pictures you will want to pick them up and pet her/him. Pictures of frogs, goldfish, possum, snakes and birds all look like the colors were turned up to an 11, maybe even 12. Amazing!
There is one other component to this book, the little blurbs written about the animals. They almost always, for each specific animal, have a part in them where you make an animal sound. Be it a Kee-eee-arr of a blue jay to the snap of the Ohio crawfish. This makes this book so much fun to read to kids it should be illegal. Making silly noises and getting a giggle is the best, pair it with a silly face while doing it and you are golden. Then leave it out and have your friends pick it up thinking its an animal photo book only to get a giggle out of them about the musings written for each animal.
Enjoy this wonderful book!
