Bookroo's summary

A young girl, overwhelmed by her chaotic home life, imagines her family as various animal groups—a pandemonium of parrots, a pride of lions, a smack of jellyfish. As she explores these whimsical transformations, she wonders if life would be better this way or if her human family is what she truly needs. This beautifully illustrated tale invites young readers to learn animal group names while discovering the heartwarming importance of family.

From the publisher

Join in the fun as a young girl imagines her family as a pandemonium of parrots, a swarm of bees, a smack of jellyfish, a wisdom of wombats, and more! When a young girl gets frustrated with her chaotic life at home, she imagines what things would be like if her family were animals instead. Would life be better as a pod of pelicans, a pride of lions, or a herd of buffalo? Or is it ultimately a family of humans that she needs? In this beautifully illustrated book, young readers learn the names for groups of animals through a sweet, whimsical narrative that focuses on the importance of family.
