Reviews
"Elegant, curious free verse and lush watercolors combine in a jaunty musing about the wonders of zoological pretending."
Booklist
"Not so much a story as an imaginative survey of creatures great and small, this book presents a variety of animal just being themselves. Swenson's playful direct-address text is chock-full of sound effects and rollicking rhythms that beg to be read aloud."
