When the cows sing about digging and the warthogs about blowing bubbles, conductor Herbert Timberteeth threatens to end the performance of his new piece, "What Animals Like Most." Realizing he made assumptions, he allows the animals to sing about their real interests and the show is saved. Cheerful and silly pen-and-ink illustrations, with two expansive gatefolds, enhance the story's stereotype-smashing message.
