Have you ever heard of a prickle of porcupines? Or a tower of giraffes? What about a parcel of penguins? This fun-filled romp through the animal kingdom introduces collective nouns for animals through wordplay. Clever rhymes and humorous illustrations bring these collective nouns to life in funny ways, making it easy to remember which terms and animals go together.

Great place to watch the author playing with words and the illustrations are such a treat. The diversity and contrasts make this a fine addition to the list I am preparing for elementary level teachers to share at "read-aloud". Imagination is dripping everywhere.
The animals stand quitetly, all in a row beneath the clouds. There’s a lone sheep, a pink flamingo, a gorilla, a giraffe, a kangaroo and more. They’re all by themselves, but what if they were joined by their friends? The names of groups can be very tricky, but not all that difficult if you can visualize them as they move with their groups. There are towers and leaps, clutters and pranks, parcels, and even intrusions. No, these words aren’t things like buildings, packages, or people interrupting, but rather the names of two or more animals gathered together in a group.There’s a beautiful striped tiger and a oyster on the back of the rhino, but wait ... they have joined their friends and are on the move. Well, perhaps the oysters are snug in their beds. “Does an ambush of tiger / quietly creep / past a bed of oysters / that snores in its sleep?” It’s easy to remember that a group of tigers is called an ambush as you watch them on the prowl. Those oysters sawing some zzzzzzzs, are certainly memorable!This is a wildly fun collection of animals that can’t be missed! It’s easy to remember that certain groups of animals are herds or flocks, but some of the more unusual ones are difficult to remember. Betsy Rosenthal, with her inimitable verse, in cahoots with illustrator Jago, makes these groups very memorable. The humorous touches become powerful mnemonic devices that will help young children learn about the tower, leap, pack, crash, team, labor, clutter, prickle, murder, stand, host, parcel, intrusion, and other groups of animals familiar to children.This book courtesy of the publisher.
So many names for groups of animals. I found this non-fiction picture book written by Betsy Rosenthal and illustrated by Jago to be fun and entertaining. I learned many new names of groups of animals to use in the future.Published by Millbrook Press, Minneapolis.#NF #PB #animals #groups #fun
This book was purchased as a gift for a baby shower. It is a collection of wonderful and short phrases that utilize unusual nouns. The illustrations are amazing and full of depth. I cannot wait to hand it over to the mom-to-be!
This book is so clever and so fun. The illustrations are fantastic. We love it!
