A parent would reach for this book when they want to spark a child's curiosity about the natural world through laughter rather than dry facts. It is the perfect choice for an evening when your child feels restless or uninspired by standard non-fiction, offering a whimsical bridge between animal science and creative expression. The book features twenty-one playful poems paired with textured, full-page watercolor illustrations that personify mammals ranging from the giant aardvark to the tiny shrew. Douglas Florian uses clever wordplay and puns to highlight the unique physical traits and behaviors of each creature. This collection is ideal for children ages 5 to 10, as it encourages them to look at biology through a lens of imagination and humor. By reading these verses together, you are not just learning about mammals; you are fostering a love for the rhythmic beauty of the English language and showing your child that learning can be a joyful, artistic experience.
