Animals Work (I Like to Read) - Hardcover

"A refreshing change from the cartoonlike pictures in most books for beginning readers, Lewin's well-composed naturalistic illustrations have their own appeal . . . A handsome animal book for young readers."--Booklist

"Lewin masterfully combines realism with child appeal in his expressive watercolors. His short, declarative sentences with repeating verbs will encourage emerging readers. . . . Inviting."--Kirkus Reviews

"The watercolor illustrations of the various locations and the people that inhabit them are stunningly lifelike, and a world map on the final spread shows where Lewin saw the animals. Easy enough for the very earliest readers."--School Library Journal

Ted Lewin's career as an artist began with illustrations for adventure magazines, but over the last thirty-five years he has devoted all his time to writing and illustrating children's books, including Peppe the Lamplighter, which won a Caldecott Honor. Many of his books are inspired by his travels around the world. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
