MY REVIEW
Off They Go! Animal Migrations, is packed with beautiful illustrations and easy to follow rhyming text, with interesting facts about every creature from birth that begins it journey here on earth. But where do all the animals that children can think of go off for migrations. Children will be fascinated, learning so much through this educational book. The cover fabulously shows in detail, what this story is clearly intended to teach children. I highly recommend this book to schools to buy, to use as a topic, where children can draw their favourite animals, and write about their migrations.
