<p>Some of the animals in this book are real. They include:</p> <ul> <li>the hippopotamus (she's missing)</li> <li>the elephant (he's artistically talented)</li> <li>the octopus (it's great at multitasking).</li> </ul> <p>Others may not be quite so real. These include:</p> <ul> <li>the wiguana (very hairy, for a lizard)</li> <li>the halibutterfly (there's something fishy about it)</li> <li>the gludu (quite clingy).</li> </ul> <p>In the tradition of Jack Prelutsky's classic poetry collections The New Kid on the Block, It's Raining Pigs & Noodles, and A Pizza the Size of the Sun, here is a book packed with more than 100 funny poems and silly pictures. Most of the poems are about animals-some are big and some are small, some have unusual interests, and some are just plain unusual.</p>
