Simms Taback’s City Animals

CRITICS HAVE SAID

  • Taback’s animals are accentuated against bold blocks of color, and there’s humor, too: the creatures’ expressions range from alarmed to goofy to just plain vacuous.
    –Publishers Weekly
  • The heavy cardstock should withstand many readings–good thing, as this one is sure to be a favorite among young
    –Kirkus
