The Too-Much Animals
About this book
What do the snail, the elephant, the crocodile and the hare have in common? All are TOO something!
This book is a playful variation on the traditional animals wordbook. Here, the animals come to life and out of the page, and they
are presented in their excess.The snail is too slow, the elephant is too big, the crocodile
is too scary, the hare is too fast…Only the cat is perfect, beautiful and quietly curled up... but it’s asleep: shake the book to wake it up!
• An enjoyable book where the animals are shown in a surprising and playful way, for the reader to look at them differently.
• Caroline Cruzinha’s naturalist yet warm drawings play with colours and textures, giving personality to the characters of the book.
