Customer Reviews

My daughter loves this book

My three year old daughter loves this book. We read it once or twice every day. It is like the game telephone where the message changes as it passes person to person. The pelican sees a hippotamus and forgets what he saw and describes some sort of monster with a very silly name. Then the next animal uses another description and name and so on. All of the animals are convinced there is a big scary monster when it is only the hippo. Very cute, very silly and a great addition to your child's bookshelf.

A Joyful Sillyness

Beware, you will need to pre-read this book to yourself before reading it aloud to a child! My preschool class has chosen this book once or twice a day since I brought it in. They wait eagerly for me to read the name of each new silly animal, laughing joyfully each time they hear about the "whoppabigamouse," "gulpawobbletusk," or the "snarlyhissopus." The pictures are delightful and colorful, and not at all scary.
