"I read this book to my 2, 3 and 4 year old and all three of them love it. The two older kids learn things as we read the book, while the 2 year old enjoys the pictures mostly. It's a fairly quick read, so sometimes they ask me to read it multiple times, and I haven't gotten sick of it yet so that is a win for me."

"This is a great book. The book is about a litlle girl Ava who encounters many different animals (kittens, turtle, and frog) at her grandparents' rescue center. The age range for this book is quite wide. Both my 3 year old and 6 year old love this book because the book is more like a picture book and meanwhile provide plenty of text and information for older kid."
