The playground can have several different uses especially to those who are in the younger years. This is an excellent book to read to Kindergartener's, because it teaches them certain animals. Each page leaves a climatic ending in order for the reader to figure out which animal is being presented. You are given clue that compares what the child is doing, to what a certain animal may do. I would read this book to a group of Kindergartener's because they will have a broader understanding of animal characteristics.
