The reader will first be amused by the images and rhythms of the poems in this book and delighted with its focus on animals. Deeper pleasure awaits, though, in noting Lawson's careful selection of words. As he explains in his afterword, his intention was to create an 'alphabet book based on vowel combinations, rather than initial letters,' but that was only the beginning. The poems combine extraordinary skill with language along a great imagination and sense of humor. The collection is sure to delight children and adults on several levels.
