A Pandemonium of Parrots and Other Animals

32 pp. | Candlewick/Big Picture | September, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-1-5362-0279-3 $16.99
(3) K-3 With vibrant mixed-media illustrations and playful interactive text, this book presents thirteen different animal species and their unusual collective names: "a conspiracy of lemurs," "a flamboyance of flamingos," etc. Animals are pictured in various poses and described by loosely rhyming verse while additional questions ("Who's sleepy?"; "Who's waving?") encourage readers to linger and examine each colorful spread. Further information on the animals is appended.
