Summary from Charlesbridge
Did you know penguins are social animals that love being together in a
group? This group is called a parcel. Flamingos are also quite social
and live in large groups called flamboyances or stands. Sheep on the
other hand are shy animals and that is why they stick together in a
group, or a flock.
Nayu's thoughts
It
was interesting to learn what certain groups of animals are called,
some I knew, most I didn't. I liked the concept of using fabric
pictures (not the actual fabric despite looking like it) on the
illustrations, although the general style and colour scheme wasn't my
taste hence the lower grade. I'm quite sure that some readers will
want to find out more about the animals featured, as well as look up
the group names for others.
