Life with My Family

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kathryn Durst. Amidst a chaotic home scene, a girl imagines what her family would be like as different animals. The simple rhyming text focuses on the together-time activities were they a pod of pelicans, herd of buffalo, and beyond. Family (human and not) dynamics are further captured through Durst's cartoony scene-setting illustrations, which ultimately reinforce that love binds this family together. Back matter lists additional collective nouns.
