Fun & Learning in one place!
This dot-to-dot activity book is great for kids who are tired or bored with the standard simple dot-to-dot books you can pick up almost anywhere.

My 6 year old son likes this one in particular because it focuses on animals, and he likes that the numbers in these dot-to-dots go over 100. Each page features a different animal with facts such as:

* Name
* Type of Animal
* Growing Inside (how the animal develops prior to birth)
* Size at birth
* Weight at birth
* Growing Up (discusses the adult age of the animal)
* Where it lives
* Sounds it makes
* You (this part discusses a fact about a person and one or more features of the particular animal - for instance on the crocodile page, the "You" fact discusses a human's set of adult teeth versus the possible 3,000 sets of teeth that a crocodile may have in a lifetime.)

This is an engaging book that the child can return to, even after the dot-to-dot activities are completed.It makes a great coloring book too!

Fun for home or school
This is a nice book for home or school. Each animal comes with a facts page and a small dot-to-dot at the bottom, and one full size page of a baby animal and it's mother. There are many animals tochoose from, making it a nice source for teachers (i.e., unit study, supplement to textbook story, seat work, etc.)or a fun and independent activity for kids stuck inside at home during a rainy day.The pictures are nicely detailed, andI think it would be best for a child 7+ because the numbers are little and plentiful. ...

The Siege of White Deer Park

The fifth Animals of Farthing Wood book kicks off without preamble, introducing a deadly new addition to White Deer Park.The Farthing Wood refugees are now older and less hardy than the days of their now legendary travels, and many of the smaller, short-lived creatures have sadly perished.When the silent, invisible predator begins to threaten their well-being, even the leader Fox suggests that maybe they should remain in their corner of the park and leave the Beast to its own devices.Soon however the undetectable intruder beings to lay siege on all the inhabitants of the park, including the White Deer themselves, and the animals must decide to either make their move or become paralysed with fear.

Dann's sparse writing style gives a great edge to the narrative, providing a succinct series of images to each of the scenes and lend every character a solid description that allows the story to flow visually in the reader's mind.At times he loses some of the grace that he established in earlier volumes of the series and approaches a kind of dry, clear text that whilst skilful and clear, doesn't serve the story as well as it might have.

Similarly the wily predator suffers from distinct lack of character, serving more as a presence that affects the others, its absence its only true character.I won't give any story details away, but there are occasions when more could be made of the Beast as an individual character, and as a book of only 150 or so pages, about 25 less than most of the others, there is certainly room for this.

These are only minor problems in a manuscript that has all the charm and character of the previous instalments.The development of the older Farthing Wood characters - Badger and Adder in particular - is superb, compelling and even emotive.The story is fast-flowing and intriguing, as well as urging the reader to continue by clever use of chapter breaks and change of perspective.A smooth, fast read with a great premise; it's amazing that the series hasn't yet begun to flag after five books.
