WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE ANIMAL by Eric Carle and Friends is a nonfiction book about fourteen authors and illustrators who share their favorite animal with the readers. This book is considered nonfiction due to the collection of illustrations from various people. Each famous author or illustrator shares personal stories of why that specific animal is their favorite. These friends include Nick Bruel, Steven Kellogg, Mo Willems, and Rosemary Wells to name a few.

 

Each page spread presents an animal and a sentence or short paragraph of why the person chose this animal. The illustrations are different for each page and represent the author/illustrator's style. The end of the book includes short biographies along with pictures of each person that was featured in the book. Information about the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art is included as well.

 

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys art and perhaps has a famous author/illustrator. This book would be perfect for doing an author study.
