PreS-Gr 1--Lewin's third book in this series follows a simple pattern. Most of the e spreads show a rainforest animal and the phrase " I am a [insert animal name here]. Can you see me?" The final three pages replace the phrase "Can you see me?" with "I am hard to see. You will never see me. And I am easy to see." A large font and repetitive text make this a solid choice for emergent readers. The animals include a snake, sloth, otter, crab, lizard, and monkey. The photo-realistic paintings are detailed, verdant, and captivating. Nestled in lush depictions of their native habitat, most of the animals are quite easy to find; don't expect an "I Spy" or "Where's Waldo?"-type search. The final page shows each animal and its specific name. The big pictures make it perfect for storytime or for individual animal lovers.--Catherine Callegari, Gay-Kimball Library, Troy, NH
