The three-toed sloth is topsy-turvy most of the time. The upside-down jellyfish rests on its back to feed. Skunks do stink-warning headstands and mallards upend in this colorful, interactive exploration of the hows and whys of upside-down animal behavior. In this unique pop-up book, pull tabs, lift-the-flaps, sliding doors, and other interactive elements, along with striking, texture-rich, cut-paper artwork by the Caldecott Honor artist Steve Jenkins to reveal how, for most animals, an occasional flip or dip is a matter of survival! (The fascinating glossary of twenty-six creatures is best read right-side up.)

Wonderful Non Fiction
By Megan R
Mr. Jenkins does it again! It's hard to find good non fiction books, but his never let me down. They are well written and kids aren't bored with them (like they usually are with nonfiction). The kids love his books, as do I.

Animals Upside Down Rating
By Aleta Johnson
Fun book! Great illustrations and information on each page. Some of the pull tabs were difficult to pull down. I could see kids ripping it if they didn't have supervision.

By Anatar
We are all learning a lot about animals who hang, fly, and turn themselves upside down. And yo can't beat the ending. Lots of information without being wordy. It gives kids and parents room to ask questions and gets everyone thinking.
