Counting Lions by Katie Cotton illustrated by Stephen Walton*

*Highly recommend this book because of the incredible illustrations!! At first I thought the illustrations were photographs!!  You can view the individual hairs in the lion's mane.
This over-sized book displays the animals in their majestic forms and shares interesting facts about each one.
I liked the word choice too-"surveys the golden savanna", "pluck leaves", "peaceful patterned giants", "a flash of fire and night that brings oblivion to her prey" and many more phrases!
In the back are more facts and their protection status for each animal.
*Highly recommend.
Borrowed from the library.
