“I REALLY wanted to like this book. The concept is awesome, the illustrations are pretty cute (especially with the cut outs), but the rhyme scheme just felt off and whenever I try to read it out loud it bothers me that sometimes the animal name rhymes... and sometimes they don't.”

“I think the idioms in this book are very fun, and the illustrations are cute, too! The only thing is that I wish the animal names were included in the rhyme sequence--it doesn't seem to flow as well as it could. I love the different cutouts on each of the animals!”
