Yes, the photos are “super cute!” just as the cover proclaims.  And as a beginning reader, it has a certain draw, as it only has a sentence or two per page, supported by the photos.  But because it is an early reader, the information it provides is minimal.  Although, hey, I did learn that a baby giraffe is taller than me when it’s born.  That was interesting.  And it does have a good sturdy binding.
