Still, it's good to know the correct collective noun, even if it's just to wow your friends. This is a animal book which is: Fun for fans of animals. Bright, colorful illustrations with cute animals. Super silly but also educational.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA drove of pigs, a romp of otters, an ostentation of peacocks, and a tower of giraffes. . . .

The ink, watercolor, and fabric collage art is brightly colored and uniquely sets this fun book apart from the crowd. Each page presents information about an animal and its group behavior, such as how geese fly in a V-shape and honk to encourage the leaders, and that sometimes tens of thousand of flamingos meet up in one location. Young readers will have a great time and create a wellspring of new vocabulary words.
