A compare and contrast of groups of animals and solitary animals. Don't miss the Q&A at the end of the book as it likely answers young readers' questions that the text doesn't answer.

Learn all about animals that typically live alone with this fun non-fiction picture book. This books a fun and easy way to learn about animals who are solitary and who live in groups. The words are lyrical and flow easily into one another. The illustrations are vibrant and eye-catching. My daughter and I had a lot of fun learning the various words used to describe different groups of animals. I found myself learning things I never knew before too! Get this book for a quick read that will teach you something fun along the way.

I feel a bit iffy about applying a human label, introvert, to animals. Also, the illustrations depict an eagle looking at an octopus, a panther, and a sloth at the same time and I don't think that's possible. I found myself wondering if this was a complete list of solitary animals. I suspect not.

This would make a great read-aloud for a school visit, perhaps k or 1st grade. I love the illustrations, they are striking and use large enough shapes to be seen from a distance.

I mistook this title for another novel, but it was nice in spite of the surprise. The art work is beautiful and you get to learn about animals and that even if you haven’t found a pack yet, it’s ok because we all have our place in this world even if we go through it differently. I wouldn’t give it five stars because I don’t think it feels particularly touching or think it would turn into a Children’s classic.
