Wild About UsWarty Warthog may have warts and tusks, but he likes himself that way! Join him as he celebrates all of his animal friends and the attributes that make each one unique. Whether it’s Crocodile's toothy grin or Kangaroo’s huge feet or Leopard’s spottiness, each animal is different. Wouldn’t it be dull if all the animals at the zoo—and all the people in the world—looked alike? A joyful picture-book celebration of everything that makes us individuals!
An Ambush of TigersHave 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. A glossary in the back matter offers further explanation of words used as collective nouns, such as sleuth meaning "detective."
Literacy Extenders:
- Take a trip to the zoo! Make a book! Let them take pictures, print them off and then on corresponding pages have them make a list of all the different attributes and characteristics.
- As the first title celebrates our differences, ask your child if they would like visiting the zoo if all the animals looked the same?
- Ask them to name the differences they see among their family
