Equipped with microphones, Cockatoo and Walrus host the World Animal Games in which animal athletes compete in seven events. Sidebars introduce each competitor's class, home, habitat, and food source, while enthusiastic onlookers cheer and share jokes. A page turn reveals the winner and includes human records in the category. Amateurish cartoon illustrations lend more humor to this lighthearted introduction to amazing animal locomotion.
