In his new picture book, Etsy indie artist and Monkey World creator Matthew Porter creates a parade of colorful animals that trot, run, and scamper across the pages. A tiger chases a bear, which chases a pig, which chases a fox, and on it goes! To find out who is chasing whom, simply turn the page. Using bold colors and distressed pinewood, Porter creates texture and movement in his artwork. His unique medium puts him in good company with other popular indie illustrators such as Nikki McClure and Kate Endle.
"[Matthew Porter is] the undisputed king of the hipster board book genre." --School Library Journal

Useful and fun for pre-readers

Useful to teach prereading skills as children guess what animal is next, learns sequencing and become familiar with basic vocabulary.

I ordered this book after reading a positive review in the NYTimes. My 7 month old daughter loves this book. Bright colors, different animals, and a fun little story to follow. It's easy for my daughter to hold and she lights up each time that we read her this book. I recommend this book.

This is an adorable children's board book, best for kids under 3. Each page shows an animal chasing the tail of another animal; to find out which animal it is you just turn the page. The illustrations are very cute and colorful, and while the book is intended for toddler-age children, the text is also great for early readers - simple and repetitive. This book would be a great addition to your children's library.
