Pavla Hanackova (19902021) was a Czech author who studied English and Chinese at Palack University, Olomouc, and later worked as a children's book editor for Albatros. In addition to her love of travel, she had a deep passion for food and all things food-related. She hailed from a picturesque Moravian village surrounded by vineyards.
This book was greatly enjoyable. The illustrations were colorful and adorable in depicting the wildlife. The narration was for older elementary, but I think younger children could also learn and be entertained by the content within the book. It's a great introduction into conservation, helping the environment, and learning about the world. I would greatly look forward to other selections by this author and illustrator! I will recommend this to my coworkers at our library! Jordan Gray, Librarian An informative book incorporated within a story. We not only learn more about the locations but also the animals that live there. There are so many kinds of habitats out there which makes this book a good intro for children. The illustrations are cute to look ate but perhaps the guidance of an adult can be there to explore each page in depth. Sally Xiong, Blogger
