Objects in a book introduce themselves: "I am fluffy says Feather. / We are nubbly say Knees. / I am dry says Heather. / We are barky say Trees"; the featured adjective is embellished to reflect its meaning (e.g., "furry" looks furry). The rhymes are toe tappers and the gouache art is pleasingly pert, but the find-it-in-a-book premise seems gratuitous.
