PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Actual-size illustrations of animal tracks around the world join rhymes that point to the animals' identities: "A long-toed jumper in the arid Outback/ hopped through the dry brush and left this track.... Who was here?" While the verse offers so many clues that guessing the animals won't prove too difficult for many readers, the revelation of the animals on the following pages can still hold some surprises a combination of huge footprints paired with V-shaped marks in the mud were left by "a hippo and an egret," while two-toed prints and long curving marks are indicative of a camel and a snake. Posada's lush watercolor-and-collage illustrations gracefully enhance this guess-the-animal book. Ages 5 9.
