Nonfiction Tie in- Social Studies, Geography, Science, Life Science, Animals, Ecology, Habitats. Book Reviews: Dubin's textured cut- and torn-paper illustrations evoke both animals and habitats fur looks soft, rocks look hard, and one can almost smell the greenery, though the scenes are less realistic than cute. And the back matter adds significantly to the learning experience with paragraphs about mountain habitats, the featured animals and the bonus hidden animals. Author s and illustrator s notes give hints on how to extend the fun and learning and tell how the art was created. ~ Kirkus Reviews.
