This book has a young person likening her family to different types of animals. I guess she is telling which animals are her family members' spirit animals. :) It was very simplistic and for very young readers. The illustrations are large and colorful and it is neat to see the animals in the cityscapes. This book could be used to introduce adaptations. All the traits that are given as traits of the animals that match the family members could be used as a jumping off point for 'why' the animals have those traits.
