Reviews
Kindergarten-Grade 4-Panda-monium reigns in this hilarious and pun-filled book of rhymes. Deftly animated with Munsinger's distinctive pictures of animals, all 25 poems introduce a familiar phrase and painlessly stretch the vocabulary. Words such as prodigious, estuary, and purloined are presented in context with descriptive pictures that make intuiting their meaning possible. Grown-ups might find some of the humor a bit cheesy, but it is hard not to laugh when geese attempt Shakespeare and put on a truly fowl play or a real cool feline experiences social cat-astrophe when his disco duds split at the seams. However, some of the references are beyond the experience of most children. For example, when Hope the hyena, a dancer, is too scary when performing as the Sugar Plum Fairy, she is switched...to Faust/And the regions infernal. Fortunately, the text and artwork allow youngsters to enjoy the verse without completely grasping the occasional adult-oriented details. Wise also incorporates some unusual creatures into his amusing menagerie, including Yuri the yak, Gertrude the agouti, a tapir, and terns. This book is a fantastic tool for sharing literature and language with a humorous and dramatic flare. It's sure to appeal to a wide audience. -Piper L.

It's sure to appeal to a wide audience." School Library Journal, K-Gr. 2. Exuberant wordplay fuels this animal-themed collection of light verse (classified as fiction rather than poetry), in which seabirds demonstrate that "one good tern deserves another," a watermelon-loving dog is a "melon collie," and a skunk smelling of cologne discovers that "it pays to have good scents." Many of the 25 poems are built around an old saying, offering an amusing introduction to figures of speech, especially when an adult is nearby to explain unfamiliar phrases. Children may also need help with Wise's frequently sophisticated references (there's a "playboy" who is also a "bon vivant," and one punch line mentions Faust). A few selections give more substantive pause: at one point, the term lazy sinner is used more flippantly than will be comfortable to many readers. However, as in the author and illustrator's previous collaboration, Dinosaurs Forever (2000), Munsinger will keep kids riveted with her goofy, anthropomorphic illustrations, and the chanting rhythms and spot-on rhymes will perk up listeners even when the humor misses the bull's-eye.
