Look!

Travel across the plains and through the jungle with this illustrated board book!

Look! An elephant eats. Look! Zebras run.

Very simple text is paired with full-page, realistic illustrations by Caldecott Honoree Ted Lewin, whose luminous illustrations of warthogs, rhinos, and more were inspired by photographs taken on a trip across Africa.

This sturdy and stunningly illustrated board book invites the youngest readers to observe wild animals in their natural habitats. On the final pages, the story comes back home and we see a young boy reading, surrounded by toy versions of the animals he's visited in the books pages.

An ode to the natural world and the power of imagination, this is sure to be a favorite for curious kids who love interesting animals.

Ted Lewin grew up in Buffalo, New York, and now lives in New York City. His career as an artist began with illustrations for adventure magazines, but over the last thirty-five years he has devoted all of his time to writing and illustrating children's books.  An avid traveler, many of Ted's books have been inspired by his trips to places such as the Amazon River, the Sahara Desert, Botswana, Egypt, Lapland, and India. His illustrations in Peppe the Lamplighter by Elise Bartone were awarded a Caldecott Honor.  Ted and his wife Betsy Lewin, the illustrator of Click Clack Moo and other titles, live in Brooklyn, New York.
