Description
This cleverly conceived board book appeals to a young child’s sense of fun while providing facts about different animals. A series of impossible but delightful-to-imagine cautionary statements are followed by informative explanations:
Don’t take a bath with a pig.
It loves wallowing in the mud.
Don’t start a food fight with an octopus.
It has six more arms than you do.
The simplicity and humor in the text and watercolor illustrations will make this book a story-time favorite.
