Step into the imaginary world of an animal lover

Ariadna loves animals-so much so that she considers herself part of the animal kingdom. She walks like a penguin, eats like a bear, hides like a mouse, and swims like a shark. But there's one animal she likes most. Follow her adventures for a day, and see if you can guess which one is her favorite!/p>

This beautiful picture book tells the story of a child who imagines a wonderful world in which animals are her constant companions.

I received a copy of this book through Netgalley. This is my honest review. 

This is a cute story about a girl named Ariadne who spends her day acting like various different animals. I really wish the story rhymed because it felt like it should, but the issue there may have to do with the translation from the original language. So it doesn't rhyme in English, but it might in Spanish. I don't know. The illustrations included a seek and find in each picture. 

I like that this story focuses on a young girl and her imagination, and would be able to read it a few times because I love encouraging imagination. And I liked that the illustrations looked almost like water colors. But I'm really hung up on the fact that the story didn't rhyme. I think it would have had that much more oomph if it did. 

Overall I give My Favorite Animal 3.2954 out of 5 stars. - Katie
