Illustrated by
Ken Min.
From Antelope to Zebra, a boy tests an alphabet of animals to find a pet that won't trigger his sister's allergies. A featherless, furless, hairless lizard fits the bill. Expressive animals and explosive sneezes of escalating intensity entertain but also distract readers from the book's alphabet concept, making this best suited for slightly older audiences. The singsongy text and dynamic illustrations deliver a diverse menagerie.
