"The Animal In Me" in the Philippines
“Laurie thank you so much for donating your fabulous and cute book, “The Animal in Me is Very Plain to See.” The kids at the San Pedro dumpsite in the Philippines loved it. It was so fun to read to them English words of pictures they know in Tagalog. Blessings come in the form of people like you. You’re the best!”
- Jennise Jensen Lamb, Philippines
“Loved the book! Couldn’t be happier. Wonderful writing and beautiful photographs. Great for kids, but all ages will love. I never review things, but this merited a review.”
- Kalab C., Utah
“A wonderful children’s book with vibrant photos. An excellent book.”
- Mitchell V., Nebraska
“My daughter loves to read this book at bedtime and tell me the times during the day that she felt like the animals.”
- R. Walton, Utah
“Our daughter LOVES The Animal In Me and I do too! She is a book lover and will grab this book often and want to sit on my lap to read it. The animal pictures are beautiful and the background graphics are very bright and engaging. The seal, moose and polar bear pages illicit a squeal of delight every. single. time. As our daughter is still quite young (12 months) the animal pictures are the most appealing part of this book for us, but I anticipate this book will be very helpful in facilitating dialogue about feelings in the coming years as she matures as well.
Whatever the stage, The Animal In Me will likely be a favorite in our house for years to come. We look forward to more children’s books by Laurie Tye and Thomas Mangelsen!”

“The Animal in Me has been great for both our 4 year old and 1 year old. We have struggled to help our 4 year old to explain how he is feeling. After a couple times of reading the book, he is now able to explain his feelings through naming the animals. Our 1 year old loves the pictures and makes the noises – extra big roars for the bear and the lion. I would definitely recommend it. Great pictures and it’s a great way to explain feelings.”
- Mark D. Sydney, Australia “Laurie Tye has exceeded my expectations. I had her create titles for some of my photographs, and have worked on several books with her. Not only is she professional, fun, and creative but it was a great experience to work with her. I will definitely work with her again.”
- Thomas D. Mangelsen, Wyoming
“We love this book at our house! It is often requested to be read, by all my kids. They love to look at the pictures and learn about all the animals. And I love that they are learning about their feelings as well. I would highly recommend this book. It is very well written and the pictures are bright, fun, and engaging. A great book for all ages!”

“The kids will love this book! It is an easy read with great pictures. As a teacher, it is a book I would definitely recommend.”
