Hello, I’m a Loris is a delightful nonfiction picture book. The text is simple enough to be accessible to the youngest elementary school students but provides enough information to support research projects or just give readers a better understanding of this unique animal. The book also addresses the serious issues of habitat loss and the illegal pet trade in an age-appropriate way for young readers.

My favorite part of this book is the illustrations. The expressions on the loris’s face, though not objectively ridiculous in any way, had me laughing out loud several times. I am so excited to add this to my library because I know these pictures will make students fall in love with this creature and want to learn more about it. I highly recommend this book for both school and home libraries.
