Illustrated by
Zachariah OHora.
Reading from Everything About Lemmings, First Mate Foxy of the S.S. Cliff says: "lemmings don't jump off cliffs." Three onboard lemmings overhear one word: "Jump? I'll jump!" After saving his impulsive shipmates, Foxy demands, "Read the book, lemmings!" What Foxy doesn't know is the little guys can't read. Dyckman's text is entertainingly patterned (if somewhat confusing), and OHora's limited-color acrylic illustrations play up the slapstick.
