Customer Reviews

Pretty ugly, but very educational!

Why does that monkey have that incredibely long nose? Are those pimples growing on that frog? And just what are those things growing out of that hogs head? You'll find these questions and more very adequately answered within the pages. This book is one in a series of 4, the others being The Loudest, The Meanest and the Laziest. All are equally as interesting to the reader and highly educational. Maps are provided so you can plot where these animals live - some might be in your own backyard. Additional information includes size, weight, and favorite food of each creature, as well as a paragraph or two of wonderful, factual information. Science and Social Studies can be taught will all 4 of these books - a must for the library and classroom.
