Where are the animals? 

They walk in search of forest animals. Where’s the anteater? Over there, behind the tree. And the macaw? There, on top of the tree. But where are the trees?! With a story based on the hide-and-seek game that babies and toddlers love so much, ‘Where are the animals?’ is a book that shows our little readers the importance of conservation. After all, it’s never too early to learn to value and respect nature. Accept the invitation to involve the kids in the importance of being activists in the defense of our fauna and flora.
Highlights include the animals of the Brazilian fauna, beautifully portrayed in watercolors.
