Nayu's thoughts    
There are many things which you can't do with certain animals which is shown in this funny book. Although the illustrations aren't quite my style I was captivated by the concepts raised which are in the think outside the box range of ideas. I can see how readers may be encouraged to think up their own situation where a specific animal (or even a person) couldn't be.
