| Kindergarten-Grade 3–Twenty-one poems about an assortment of animals in ridiculous situations. A centipede is on the hunt for matching shoes, a chameleon panics when the landscape turns plaid, and a hyena is a surefire audience for knock-knock jokes. The poetry is mildly amusing (although children may find a sheep wishing for synthetic wool confusing), but not as clever as either Douglas Florians Omnibeasts (Harcourt) or Betsy Lewins Animal Snackers (Holt, both 2004). Some lines scan awkwardly, and there are some real stretches for rhymes (parading/skating). The standout here is Adinolfis mixed-media art. The bright colors and energetic lines supply the humor and liveliness sometimes lacking in the verses. This is an additional purchase for large collections in which silly poetry is popular.–Grace Oliff, Ann Blanche Smith School, Hillsdale, NJ

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| These are exactly the kind of poems I hope to write whenever I get a few 36-hour days. They're the amuse bouche of children's poems, pungent morsels that whet your appetite for silliness.
Horton takes us through a menagerie of critters, adding quirky twists to familiar images, such as the jellyfish in a variety of flavors that go well with peanut butter, or the snake who wants a zipper to help shed his skin.
The poems aim squarely at kid level, needing little or no explanation to make them hilarious, and will yield more yuks with repeated readings as kids gradually "get" them.
