A Paddling of Ducks: Animals in Groups from A to Z

32 pp. | Kids Can | March, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-1-55337-682-8 $16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Joseph Kelly. Groups of animals identified by collective nouns--"an army of Ants," "a sloth of Bears," "a bask of Crocodiles"--enjoy the pleasures of a seaside town in this entertaining alphabet book. Clever art reveals the text’s witticisms; "a bloat of Hippos," for example, exercises on stationary bicycles. The close-up perspective puts readers in the middle of the frequently raucous action.
