"Do you ever wonder
what animals do
when they gather in groups
of more than two?"

In rhyming text, a tower of giraffes observes a raft of otters, a host of sparrows invites a stand of flamingos to sit, and a troop of kangaroos sells cookies. A fun exploration of collective nouns! And when they all get together, what's it's called? LOUD!

There is a glossary (a bit hard to read, between the font and the green painted and textured background), but no source notes. The illustrations appear to be painted on linen, perhaps with some collage elements. ( )

A fun and beautifully illustrated introduction to collective animal nouns.

Note: I received a digital galley of this book through NetGalley. ( )

Amusing wordplay and rhymes accompany beautiful textural paintings of absurd animals in this wonderful book. ( )

great rhyme, interesting pictures, fun book ( )

This book is a great poetry book but also educational. It brings each animal into the story in a fun rhyming way. I also loved the use of color and realistic illustrations. ( )
