In short, jaunty rhymes, a half-dozen animals describe their tails, from a skunk that lifts its tail to send a message that it doesn't want to play, to a beaver that uses its tail to build its home. The vividly colored animals sprawl across the double-page spreads, and large, fairly sturdy flaps allow preschoolers to flip the tails back and forth.
