Bookroo's summary

Explore the fascinating world of animal group names with vibrant illustrations. Learn why geese fly in a V and how flamingos gather in thousands. Dive into this playful journey and expand your vocabulary with delightful terms like a 'romp of otters' and an 'ostentation of peacocks.'

From the publisher

A drove of pigs, a romp of otters, an ostentation of peacocks, and a tower of giraffes. . . . This clever book introduces young readers to some of the words we use to refer to animals in a group. 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.
