Illustrated by
Pippa Curnick.
On each spread, animals with seemingly diverse appearances are grouped together under a shared anatomical characteristic, such as tusks, whiskers, stripes, and fins. The animals are portrayed with cartoonlike, anthropomorphized faces and bodies, and although some of the common features are similar in structure and purpose, others are less similar in function. Simple explanations for the role of each characteristic are appended.
