(2) PS Walsh extends her theme of mixed-up animal attributes to the slightly more complex subject of animal locomotion. Her illustrations have advanced to colorful scenes of happy activity. Preschoolers will be thrilled by the silly questions--"Do hippos hop?"--and quick to reply with their own "No!" The logical responses will provide satisfying nods of recognition. Visually and thematically, this third installment is Walsh's best yet.
