"Unfold this glorious eight-foot-long frieze of nature's wild things and share a round-the-world safari with your favorite young animal lover. First published in 1940 and now happily back in print." -
Parenting Magazine "Those familiar with
D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths will appreciate the New York Review Books' efforts to unite the authors' backlist. Having reissued both
D'Aulaires' Book of Norse Myths and
D'Aulaires' Book of Trolls, the publisher now presents the paper-over-board
D'Aulaires' Book of Animals by Ingri and Edgar Parin D'Aulaire, originally published in 1940 as
Animals Everywhere. The book folds out into a glorious full-color landscape, stretching from jungle to desert to Arctic climes; the reverse side, in b&w, names the animals and the sounds they make." -
