From the award-winning children's book duo, Jeanne and William Steig, comes a wildly wily collection of poetry all about the...peculiarities...of the animal kingdom!
Consider the lemming:
No hawing or hemming
No dilly or dally
No silly or shally
The whole lemming nation
In one wild migration
Is off to the sea.
In this sly and hilarious collection of illustrated verse about the animal kingdom?from the lemming to the human?critically acclaimed author/illustrator duo Jeanne and William Steig introduce readers to the foibles of all kinds of creatures. And you'll never look at animals quite the same way ever again!
