    About this ebook

    This cleverly conceived board book appeals to a young child’s sense of fun while providing facts about different animals. A series of impossible but delightful-to-imagine cautionary statements are followed by informative explanations:

     

    Don’t take a bath with a pig.
    It loves wallowing in the mud.

     

    Don’t start a food fight with an octopus.
    It has six more arms than you do.

    The simplicity and humor in the text and watercolor illustrations will make this book a story-time favorite.
