Reviews

[Charity · Rating 2 out of 5]

Zoological portmanteaux serve as punchlines for this book of animal jokes. Cute, but not one to read over and over again (one hopes).

[Mckenzie Quade · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a silly book filled with jokes about combining animals together. This would be a great book to role play and have the students act out. This would also be a nice break to let them laugh a little bit and try to pronounce made-up funny words that are mixed animals.

[Sam · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book has good illustrations. It's kind of difficult to read the words when they combine two animals together though. Be good for students to use their imagination. I wouldn't recommend it for young children.

A collection of riddles about fanciful combination animals, including "What do you call a kangaroo that wakes you up in the morning? A kangarooster."
