Summary: Fun book for all zoo (and Barney) lovers
Comment: In this board book, Barney takes children on a trip to the zoo to visit several animals who hide behind large flaps. Barney asks simple questions, and then the child can lift the flap to find the animal and the answer. My little ones love finding the animals behind the flaps, and since they love both Barney and zoo animals, this is a perfect fit.
Rating: 5
Summary: great fun
Comment: Two of my children are huge Barney fans and the love this book.I read it to them right after our first visit to the zooand they loved that they saw all the animals that are in the book. They love to pull open the flaps to see who is underneath.I have read this story to them many times.

Summary: Very, very pretty, but ...
Comment: I heartily endorse all the glowing praise of other reviewers for the layout and the fine grain of the spectacular photographs. Design excellence.
I know personally one of the editorial panel and, yes, he is among the world's leading authority in his field. From that I assume the others are, too.
BUT, for all the science and thought that has gone into the book it has two critical flaws.
(1) it suffers from "vertebrate chauvinism". Most of the world's animals are not vertebrates, but most of this book is devoted to vertebrates. Biodiversity depends on far, far more than the vertebrates.
(2) it omits one of the planet's most populous species, a species which, by its spread, has changed the lives of most other species and is causing many of them to become extinct. I refer to the human species. Can you believe it is not listed!
How can a book which appears to be otherwise so scientifically sound, in the twenty-first century, get these two things so wrong?
Despite these fundamental flaws, the book is a gem. My copy is prominent in our house and everyone dips into it almost daily. A feast!
