Have you ever heard of a prickle of porcupines? Or a tower of
giraffes? What about a parcel of penguins?
This fun-filled romp through the animal kingdom introduces collective
nouns for animals through wordplay. Clever rhymes and humorous
illustrations bring these collective nouns to life in funny ways, making
it easy to remember which terms and animals go together. A glossary in
the back matter offers further explanation of words used as collective
nouns, such as sleuth meaning "detective."
