This volume features oodles (or at least dozens) of brightly colored paper-collage animals on bold backgrounds. Clever configurations of nine basic shapes define the familiar features of each animal, and the carefully cut details and imaginative use of color give Ehlert's creations a novel charm. A simple, lighthearted verse accompanies each creature, providing a little tidbit about its traits or habits.
