Children will discover mountain systems all over the world and the animals that inhabit them. Through torn paper artwork and lyrical text, children will travel to the Andes in South America, the Minshan and Himalayan Mountains in Asia, the Alps in Europe, Blue Mountains in Australia, Virunga Mountains in Africa, the Alaska Range and Rocky Mountains in North America, and more. Oh, the animals you will meet in every place! The text can be sung to the tune of "Over in the Meadow" and information about the animals in the story (and those hidden) is found in the back of the book. Children will want to read this book over and over, just to sing the lyrics and find the hidden nuances on each page. 32 pgs., p/b. ~ Donna
