Author Linda Bondestam’s My Life at the Bottom: The Story of a Lonesome Axolotl became available in May. Using large glossy photographs of the different colors and habits of the axolotl the author gives the reader a fabulous introduction to a rather unusual animal. are wonderfully detailed, and she picked unusual creatures (an axolotl, a tarsier, those meerkats) to depict, giving them all vivid expressions. The facial expressions on the animals have very human fatigue written all over them, which will delight human parents…. With gorgeous photos balancing out the straight-forward text, young readers can focus on the the information in the book rather than the book itself.

Bondestam’s books for children have won extensive recognition, including seven nominations for the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award. I'm somewhat disappointed that there are no colour photographs in Wells' otherwise beautiful book but that's the only criticism I can make. This addition to Keating's The World of Weird Animals shares some adorable lesser known animals with young readers.

She is a strong supporter of animal rescue and welfare organizations, and works with programs educating young children about the proper care of pets. Through publishing a diverse array of transporting stories, Yonder nurtures the next generation of savvy global citizens and lifelong readers.Even as we admire the axolotl’s spirit and learn more about its babyishness (known as neoteny), we have a responsibility to help preserve these amphibians’ environment so that they can be enjoyed for generations to come. She has already written an excellent review of this book and I agree with her thoughts so I encourage you to check out her review if you would like one more detailed than mine. Not only does Keating provide each of the species' names, size, and diet, but she also identifies each one's habitat and predators as well as taking readers past the creatures' looks so readers realize that there is much more to an animal than meets the eye, and that cuteness is in the eye of the beholder.
