Title: You won't see these guys in the zoo...
Product review: Jack Prelutsky has created yet another treasure of a book that is truly silly but certainly not shallow! Youngsters will most likely need this book to be read to them since the vocabulary is a bit elevated (verdant, acrobatic, accelerates, meander, languorous, etc.). Of course, with creature names like "rhinocerose" and "antelopetunia", even adults may need to give this a read-thru before attempting the names out loud! Especially fun are the mangorilla and the orangutangerine who cavort through the jungle and are rarely seen.Sis' mostly monochromatic illustrations are surprisingly exciting and help the reader to really understand these strange animal and animal/plant (especially fruit and vegetable) hybrid creatures. The back cover is further help to decipher these scranimals' imaginative origins and may inspire youngsters to come up with some combinations of their own.
