Detailed illustrations and simple text are paired within a board book format to introduce young readers to six diverse animal groups and the unique names by which they are known.
Reviews
A primer of collective animal nouns. In rhymed couplets (one line per double-page spread), Riggs introduces the very young to a "flock of geese," a "colony of ants," "troops of monkeys," and more. The title ends with a review of all the creatures presented with a regrettably forced rhyme: "A pod of dolphins catches a wave.//Families go by many names!" Dogi's naturalistic art, which has the polished look of airbrushed renderings, is attractive and helpful to young ones learning to name the creatures of the animal kingdom.
