Beautiful Moments in the Wild: Animals and Their Colors (Moments in the Wild S.) - Tapa blanda

This collection of images by some of the world’s leading wildlife photographers uses vivid photographs to introduce young children to the dazzling multitude of colors in the natural world. A neck-arching pink flamingo; a quiet, resting, red-eyed tree frog; and a school of orange bigeyes swimming gracefully through an ocean reef are some of the featured pictures that capture the beautiful colors of the animal kingdom. Storybook-like captions encourage beginning readers to make connections between the pictures and words on the page, promoting literacy along with an appreciation of the natural world’s beauty.
