As a successful and beloved elementary school teacher of forty years, Betty Oliver understands what children need to learn and, more importantly, how to make them love what they are learning. During my career as a high school English teacher, I had the privilege of teaching many students who had been taught by Mrs. Oliver in fourth or fifth grade. They spoke of her enthusiasm and her love for teaching them writing and how it inspired them throughout their years in school.
Turning the pages of this delightful and informative book is like viewing through a kaleidoscope a diverse array of animals in their natural habitats spanning the globe. Mrs. Oliver creatively merges her firsthand experiences, encounters, and knowledge that she gained from her travels throughout the world with her own charming paintings of these magnificent creatures.

What a pleasure it is to read about the latest adventures of our penguin friends, Ollie and Mollie! Mrs. Oliver was one of the wonderful teachers I was blessed to have when I was in elementary school, and I have to smile when I think about how after all these years, she is still teaching me new things! Mrs. Oliver was an amazing teacher then, and she continues to be one to this day! I can’t wait to share this story with my own pre-K students. Not only will they learn fun facts about animals from all parts of this amazing world in which we live but also their little eyes will get a treat when looking at Mrs. Oliver’s beautiful animal paintings.
