Take an already amusing children's poem about Bert's out-of-control animal collecting hobby and illustrate it with large, fun, cute paintings and what do you get? An absolute delight! I especially like the rabbits (of which there are many), ostrich chicks and domestic cat but the other animals are also wonderful. Forty pages of joy. ( )

this is a good illustration book and will be able great to connect to other subjects. the illustration is soft, fun, and colorful.

This is about someone's brother Bert, who loves to collect animals. It starts small but by the end he has a whole zoo in the house.

I thought this book was so cute. It had a great little rhyme. It not only had animals but ones that are not always so original. It gets children to wonder what that animal is because they have never heard it before. This book has great illustrations and would be able to connect to many different subjects in class.

Bert’s sister is concerned about his wild animal collecting hobby. She wonders what would happen if they all started bothering each other. This scenario is fun and imaginative for children, and the pictures are really nice as well. ( )
