I received a copy of this book through Netgalley. This is my honest review.
This was a fun story about a girl doing a photo project for school taking pictures of all the different animals she encounters while out on a walk. The story format was very repetitive, which would make it a great book for younger kids who benefit from repetition. It would make it a bit annoying for the adults reading it though, so be warned.
The illustrations were colorful and fun, humanizing all the animals by dressing them in human clothes. The illustrations would make it almost worth reading a few times over. There are a lot of areas of the book that were interactive as well, which is also very good for younger kids.
Overall I give Bentley's Fantabulous Idea 4.0743 out of 5 stars. - Katie
