Man Gave Names to All the Animals by Bob Dylan. Music Sales America. Hardcover with CD. 38 pages. Published by Sterling Publishing.
Whimsical and witty, “Man Gave Names to All the Animals” first appeared on Bob Dylan's album Slow Train Coming in 1979. Illustrator and naturalist 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!
