Wonderful, wacky animal poems that will tickle the funny bone and bring on the giggles...

A centipede in running shoes. A lizard who dreams he’s a dragon. A whale who prefers showers to baths. These are just a few of the quirky animal friends you’ll meet in this imaginative poetry collection. Joan Horton and JoAnn Adinolfi team up again, this time to depict animals of all sizes—from mosquitoes to kangaroos—with the perfect mix of playful language and boisterous pictures. Who wouldn’t be delighted by berry-flavored jellyfish?
