Bookroo's summary

Dive into a world of whimsical creatures where a calf meets a chicken to become a 'cacken'! This interactive book lets children flip pages to invent new animal hybrids with quirky names. With vibrant illustrations and easy-to-turn pages, young readers can explore endless combinations, sparking creativity and laughter. What bizarre beast will you create next?

From the publisher

Mix and match the front and back of farm animals to create funny new species! If you could cross a calf with a chicken, would that be a cacken? How on earth do you make a chiglet? Would a kippy satisfy folks who love kittens and puppies? With this inventive book, children are invited to flip the pages to make outlandish creatures with silly hybrid names. Featuring boldly colored, simply shaped animals ready to be mixed up again and again, these sturdy board-book pages open to the left and the right for easy manipulation by little hands.
