    About this ebook

    Whimsical and witty, “Man Gave Names to All the Animals” first appeared on Bob Dylan's album Slow Train Coming in 1979. Illustrator Jim Arnosky has now crafted a stunning picture book adaptation of Dylan's song that's a treat for both children and adults, with breathtaking images of more than 170 animals plus a CD of Dylan's original recording. The revered musical legend rarely allows his songs to be illustrated, and Arnosky has done the song proud with a parade of spectacular creatures ready to receive their names-until the surprise ending, when children get to name an animal themselves!

      Man Gave Names To All The Animals“Man Gave Names To All The Animals” by Bob Dylan was an outstanding book! I read this book to my step-son and he immediately began reading the “chorus” with me! The book is also a song and comes with the CD, which creates a patterned language and writing that readers can’t help but to become engaged in. “Man gave names to all the animals, in the beginning, in the beginning. Man gave names to all the animals, in the beginning, long time ago” is the chorus throughout the book. Additionally, it has traditional Bob Dylan style with “ah” being used whenever he names the animal. For example, “Ah, think I’ll call it a bear”. The illustrations are amazing! The fill the pages with lifelike color and animals in all spaces. Once you get to the end of the book, the reader learns there are 170 animals hidden in the book to go back and find. This book is on my wish list for my future classroom! The big idea is to illustrate a children’s book with the Bob Dylan song and to entertain children.

      I am torn, I like Bob Dylan and I like Jim Arnosky's illustrations, but this book could easily be confused as nonfiction to a child. The song and book are about man naming animals in Eden. This was written by Dylan after he became religious. But I give it three stars because the illustrations are fantastic, there are over 170 animals illustrated in this book. Also, it is fun to listen to the song while reading along.
