Todd McKie.
This book introduces a menagerie of creatures. Some are identified, while others are described in occasionally uneven rhyme for readers to name. Per the title, some of the descriptions are indeed funny ("If I were looking for a pillow, / I would not choose an armadillo"), while others just rhyme. Abstract paintings suggest the animals with few colors and loose shapes.
