It's not the sort of book you'll want to read again and again, but it doesn't set out to be. It's a book to have, to treasure, and to pick up from the bookshelf every now and then and really enjoy. Warmly recommended.
[[My Animals by Xavier Deneux]] takes a less realistic view of animals, but it's an utterly gorgeous book. [[It Was Bedtime In The Jungle by John Butler]] is an animal counting book in a similar vein to ''Animal Gallery''. For sheer beauty, look no further than [[Where Is Home, Little Pip? by Karma Wilson and Jane Chapman]]. If you're learning all about animals, then it's never too soon to get to grips with evolution, which [[One Smart Fish by Chris Wormell]] handles perfectly. For something Christmassy from Wildsmith, try [[A Christmas Story by Brian Wildsmith]] or if you'd like something about animals, try [[Cat on the Mat and Friends by Brian Wildsmith|Cat on the Mat and Friends]].
