I can't wait to use this for storytime. Normally, I don't care for rhyming text because I get stuck in a vocal rut, but this is so ding-dang charming! The illustrations are large and lush (scar details on the whale! muzzle fuzz on the moose!). Plus, memorable animal expressions. I especially love that all the joy is tempered with moments of tears and regret. Great for readers who love a slew of animals or unironic optimism. #dw2020reads #kidslit
